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. I also can't see on a technical level a company planning this kind of maintenance operation this quickly. It would be reckless.

I think GV investing $20 million on them helps too: https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/09/gitlab-raises-20m-series-c...
GV is not partial to a particular cloud vendor. They do not push GCP onto the startups they invest in.
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.
Kubernetes? Yeah right... The reasons are very clear: 1) GitHub being acquired by Microsoft. 2) Google is an investor in GitLab (through GV).
GitLab began migrating to GCP months ago, long before GitHub had anything to do with Microsoft. https://about.gitlab.com/2018/04/05/gke-gitlab-integration/

How did they end up on Azure in the first place? Any Gitlabbers here that know the story?
