Serious questions:

1) Is GitHub runing under Azure's technology stack?

2) Is GitHub under Azure's mamagement (in contrast to Visual Studio's team)?

I'm not sure about two but I'm pretty sure that GitHub doesn't run under Azure at all, considering that GitHub has fully separate networking from MSN's/Azure's (and GitHub's machines do pingback unlike most of Microsoft's machines which don't).



The last time I checked, the only meaningful parts of GitHub that ran on Azure was/is Actions. Everything else is AWS.

Huh? As of at least 2017 GitHub was running their own data centers [1]. Any evidence that’s changed? Microsoft bought them in 2018, I can’t imagine they went to AWS after that.

Ah sorry, yeah I wasn't being very accurate. I was checking "what's on Azure", I didn't really follow up to check in detail the breakdown of the rest. I just saw quite a bit on AWS and assumed it all was.


Believe they were multi-cloud, definitely had stuff on AWS
