GitHub is becoming more dependent on Microsoft as the Redmond tech giant plans to migrate the platform from its own data centers directly to Azure over the coming months. This marks the first major change since the previous CEO, Thomas Dohmke, announced his departure to start a new venture. Instead of appointing a replacement, Microsoft is integrating GitHub and its leadership into the company's CoreAI organization.
According to The Verge, an internal announcement was made earlier this week by Vladimir Fedorov, GitHub's Chief Technology Officer, citing a major capacity problem. In a note to employees, Fedorov wrote that GitHub is "constrained on data server capacity with limited opportunities to bring more capacity online in the North Virginia region".
Fedorov called the migration "existential for GitHub to have the ability to scale to meet the demands of AI and Copilot", adding that this huge infrastructure project will require teams to delay the launch of new features in favor of focusing on the migration.
