This gives OpenAI the ability to goto AWS instead of exclusively on Azure. I guess Azure really is hanging on by a thread.

Confirmed by Andy Jassy just now https://www.linkedin.com/posts/andy-jassy-8b1615_very-intere...
And Azure still doesn't support IPv6, looking at the GitHub[1].

Perhaps they should use OpenAI models to figure out how to rollout IPv6.
Some food for thought:

Now they can use Claude Code.
I was under the impression that as long as GitHub doesn't support IPv6 it is a sign that they still haven't finished their migration to Azure. Azure supports IPv6 just fine.
Supports IPv6 just fine? Absolutely not, they have the worst IPv6 implementation of the 3 large clouds, where many of their products don't support it, such as their Postgres offering. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44881803 for more.
Well, you see, they just can't find a checkbox for ipv6 support in the IIS GUI on their ingress servers.
lol GitHub doesn’t run on azure at msft
They still run their own platform.
Github CEO threatened the entire stack was in the process of migrating to Azure.

I talked to github devs last week in person, when a lot of the AzDo team was brought over years ago the migration started happening.
OpenAI's thirst for compute probably can't be satisfied by one cloud provider, if at all.
But OpenAI had announced a shift towards b2b and enterprise. It makes sense for their models to be available on the different cloud providers.
Isn't this expected if OpenAI models are going to be listed on AWS GovCloud as a part of the Anthropic / Hegseth fall-out?
What? I thought Azure will always have the Sharepoint/Office/Active Directory cash cow.
Their engineers have been working tirelessly to make Sharepoint/Office/Active Directory as terrible as it possibly could be while still technically being functional, while continuing to raise prices on them. I've seen many small business start to chose Google Workspace over them, the cracks have formed and are large enough that they are no longer in a position were every business just go with Office because that's what everyone uses.
I see more businesses on the office + Team stack then Google workspace. So far more.
I think the differentiator is Team, which Google for some mysterious reason can't build or doesn't want to.
It is the one thing that makes me wonder about Microsoft's future. It had seemed like they were willing to throw Windows and Xbox under the bus so long as the server cash cow continued. But it that starts to fade, they could be in some real trouble a decade from now.
Sharepoint has never not been terrible.
