Microsoft is moving GitHub over to Azure servers
Microsoft is migrating GitHub to Azure servers, a significant infrastructure shift following the acquisition in 2018, which raises concerns within the developer community about future operations.
- Microsoft acquired GitHub in 2018 for $7.5 billion, allowing it to maintain a degree of independence within the tech giant's ecosystem.
- The recent resignation of GitHub's former CEO Thomas Dohmke has prompted a reevaluation of GitHub's operational strategies, including the transition to Azure servers.
- The migration to Azure is expected to enhance GitHub's performance and scalability, aligning it more closely with Microsoft's cloud services strategy.
Why It Matters
This move underscores Microsoft's commitment to integrating its acquisitions into its broader cloud infrastructure, potentially impacting how developers engage with GitHub and influencing the future of software development across the industry.
