Cloud with Assessment
An HTML report with an executive summary: counts, migration risk and the top actions. Every mapping is classed as recognized (AUTO), review-required (REVIEW) or unsupported, with a next action for each finding.

Blueprint Retirement Toolkit
Azure Blueprints retires on 31 January 2027, and new assignments stop on 31 October 2026. Turn your Blueprint exports into an offline plan for moving to Deployment Stacks and ARM/Bicep: an assessment, a lock-replacement plan and a migration runbook you review and run yourself.
What you get
Three things to review, per Blueprint
Runs locally. The assessment needs no Azure credentials, and the toolkit never deploys, removes assignments or cleans up anything in your cloud. Generated packages stay marked deployment_ready=false until a person signs them off.
Lock-replacement plan
Each Blueprint lock mapped to candidate Deployment Stack deny settings, with the differences you must test before you rely on them.
Migration runbook
Phases from pre-flight to rollback, with pre-filled what-if, stack and rollback commands and a sign-off table. You run the commands; the toolkit runs nothing.
Tested, honestly
What it did on Microsoft's public CAF Foundation sample
Assessment
13 artifacts: 4 AUTO, 9 REVIEW, 0 unsupported; 15 findings; risk rated MEDIUM.
End-to-end run, 18 Oct 2026
With the 0.3.0 release in Azure Cloud Shell: all 37 checks passed, what-if showed 21 creates and 1 no-change, all 22 resources deployed, and with deny settings on a resource-group delete was refused.
One public sample in one lab subscription, not a customer export: it is not proof for your environment. The read-only export helper was tested against a subscription with no Blueprints, so reading real Blueprint data is not yet proven.
What's in the download
- Offline Python wheel (Python 3.10 or later)
- Read-only PowerShell export helper (sends GET requests only)
- Installation, walkthrough, export, troubleshooting and limitations guides, plus a 14-stage migration guide
- Instructions for AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot): what they may do, what they must ask first, what they must never do
- Three videos with captions and transcripts: why migrate, what's in your download, and the full customer journey
Before you buy
- For Azure administrators and consultants who plan the move themselves; not a one-click migrator
- Tested on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows 11 (x64 and Arm), Windows Server 2022 and Ubuntu 24.04
- Command-line familiarity and the ability to review JSON and ARM/Bicep output
- Subscription-scope Blueprints only; management-group generation and complex templates need manual work
- 7-day refund if it can't be installed on a supported platform or the files differ from the description
- Includes corrective 0.3.x updates until 17 January 2027
