Well… https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-azure-down-thou...

Fair enough, my Azure experience is minimal enough that maybe I shouldn't make assumptions about whether this would improve things. That being said, I do think there's merit in the idea that if Microsoft is going to be able to solve this problem, they probably should try to solve it just once, and in a general way, rather than just for Github?

Related to the recent announcement they are moving to Azure?

Doubt it. I'm Ops person on Azure, while they just had terrible outage recently, they tend to be as stable as any other cloud provider and I haven't had many issues with Azure itself compared to whatever slop the devs are chucking into production.

It's possible that Microsoft buying GitHub was a large-scale psyop intended to reduce the productivity of the competition.

Any time their startup competitors are making too much progress they can just push the "GitHub incident" button and slow everyone down.

Why does the main page show all green when there is an ongoing incident? All green here -> https://www.githubstatus.com/

Github is owned by Microsoft, so this is a pretty small time indie operation, you need to give them a break.

Just your casual $3.8T company. There were so many severe Github Actions outages (10+ ?) in the past year. Cause: Migration to the disaster zone also known as Azure, I assume. Most of them happened during (morning) CET working hours, as to not inconvenience the americans and/or make headlines. Money doesn't buy competency. It's a long-term culture thing. You can never let go on maintaining competency in your organiza…

“guess Microsoft did let go” - are we thinking of the same Microsoft here?
