How to apply migrations to EF 7 context on instantiation?

I know I can do :

Database.Migrate();

after the context is ready. But I cannot get EF to do it when initialising my context, like you could do previously with EF 6.1 using Database.SetInitializer and MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersionin the context constructor.

So, how can I ensure that the DB is created or updated and migrated using the available migrations before I make my first call to get data?

Just instantiate the DbContext during app startup, and call Database.Migrate()
