Built on Azure Local with Azure Arc, AKS Hybrid, and Azure AI on Edge. Zero data egress. Full sovereignty.
NSA's open-source reverse engineering framework running in headless mode. Performs automated binary analysis including function decompilation, call graph generation, string reference extraction, and import table analysis. Scales across multiple binaries concurrently using containerized workers.
Screen recordings processed through Azure AI Vision on Edge for UI element detection, workflow annotation, and user interaction pattern recognition. Identifies buttons, forms, navigation patterns, and data entry workflows without requiring application source code.
Microsoft's AI orchestration framework coordinates the analysis pipeline. Manages prompt chains for code understanding, specification generation, and business rule extraction. Runs against local LLM endpoints — no cloud API calls required.
Multi-agent framework for collaborative code generation. Specialized agents handle different modernization tasks: API design, database migration, UI generation, test creation. Agents self-validate through peer review loops.
Legacy applications installed and executed in isolated Hyper-V virtual machines. Clean-room approach: snapshot before installation, diff after. Each stage of analysis starts from a known checkpoint. VMs are disposable — no contamination between analysis runs.
Full VM state captured at every phase boundary. Analysis can be rolled back, replayed, and branched. Deterministic execution enables reproducible results. Any failure point can be re-entered without starting from scratch.
All network traffic from sandbox VMs routed through a transparent proxy. HTTP/HTTPS, SQL, SMTP, and custom protocols captured and decoded. Identifies every external dependency the application requires — including undocumented ones.
Programmatic interaction with legacy application UIs. Click-path automation exercises discovered workflows and validates behavior. Captures input/output pairs for regression test generation. Handles Win32, WinForms, WPF, and web-based interfaces.
RESTful API definitions generated from discovered behavior. Versioned, documented, ready for consumer integration.
Docker/OCI images with Helm charts and AKS manifests. Multi-stage builds, security-scanned, production-ready.
End-to-end, integration, and regression tests derived from captured workflows. Continuous validation built-in.
Comprehensive documentation of what was automated, what requires manual intervention, and what was excluded.
The modernization pipeline requires significant compute — GPU acceleration for AI workloads, large memory for binary analysis, and fast storage for VM checkpoint/replay. Azure Local provides enterprise-grade hyperconverged infrastructure managed through Azure Arc.
Organizations get cloud-native management and tooling (Azure Portal, ARM templates, Azure Policy) while keeping all data and processing physically on-premises. No data egress. No cloud dependency for core pipeline execution.
Your legacy. Your code. Your infrastructure.
