​ Still running legacy Java in production? You’re not alone — and modernization doesn’t have to be a risky, manual grind.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
→ Why Java modernization is critical for AI readiness and cloud adoption
→ The four-phase modernization loop: Assess → Upgrade → Migrate → Test & Deploy
→ How GitHub Copilot agents automate repetitive modernization tasks — frameworks, dependencies, CVEs, containerization
→ How portfolio assessment tools (Azure Migrate, Cast, Doctor Migrate) connect to developer workflows via GitHub Issues
→ What the full enterprise modernization workflow looks like end to end

📺 This is Episode 0 of the Modernize Java Apps with AI series — a 9-part, hands-on guide to upgrading legacy Java applications using GitHub Copilot. Each episode is 5–7 minutes and covers a focused step in the modernization journey.
