The Contoso University sample web app provides an example project you can experiment with using GitHub Copilot app modernization for .NET (Preview). For more information and step-by-step instructions, see the quickstart guide.
Scenario overview
Contoso University is a fictional university management system originally built with .NET Framework 4.8. The application includes features such as:
- Student enrollment
- Course management
- Instructor assignments
The legacy system relies on Windows-based components:
- SQL Server LocalDB for database storage
- Local file system for file management
- Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) for notification messaging
Modernization with Azure
Using App Modernization for .NET (Preview), you can update the sample to use modern, cloud-native Azure services:
- Azure SQL Database replaces SQL Server LocalDB
- Azure Blob Storage replaces local file system access
- Azure Service Bus replaces MSMQ
- Azure Key Vault provides secure secrets management
This migration illustrates how to transform a legacy, on-premises application into a scalable and maintainable cloud-native solution using GitHub Copilot and Azure services.
