It makes sense given "CTO Vladimir Fedorov notes that GitHub is constrained on capacity in its Virginia data center." and Azure has a decent setup for their AI support infrastructure and base virtual machines.
But having gone through a data center migration; depending on how "unique" some of their existing setup was; I do not envy them in this process (and I estimate this will take double the expected time :P).
Vladimir Fedorov just joined Github from Meta a few months ago. What does he know?
At the very least it seems like someone had told him "we are constrained on capacity in our Virginia data center".
