They claim this is because of their focus on Kubernetes, but I have to wonder how much of this has to do with Microsoft acquiring Github. That aside, that's a tough slight for AKS.

Who’s surprised? They can’t afford to run on their biggest competitor’s platform.
It's interesting how companies balance that decision, like Netflix's use of AWS despite Prime video being a competitor. That said, I'm skeptical that they made a major decision like this so quickly after the acquisition was announced.
It would be interesting to see details of the performance issues motivating this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Except they announced this before it was known that Microsoft buys Github... https://about.gitlab.com/2018/04/05/gke-gitlab-integration/

I think GV investing $20 million on them helps too: https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/09/gitlab-raises-20m-series-c...
Kubernetes? Yeah right... The reasons are very clear: 1) GitHub being acquired by Microsoft. 2) Google is an investor in GitLab (through GV).
I also can't see on a technical level a company planning this kind of maintenance operation this quickly. It would be reckless.

For everyone saying this is a political decision, I don't see why Gitlab would be afraid of being political, especially seeing as a lot of developers were annoyed/angered at the Microsoft buyout.
