The four-chapter course covers assessment, planning, upgrade execution, and cloud deployment to Azure App Service. Unlike typical agentic tools, the GitHub Copilot modernization agent produces transparent, editable artifacts (assessment.md, plan.md, tasks.md) that developers review and adjust before any code changes occur. A GitHub Copilot subscription and Visual Studio 2022 (17.10+) are required.
