GitHub si sposta su Microsoft Azure:
Vladimir Fedorov, GitHub’s chief technology officer, made the Azure migration announcement internally earlier this week, noting that GitHub is currently struggling with data center capacity. GitHub is currently hosted on the company’s own hardware, centrally located in Virginia. “We are constrained on data server capacity with limited opportunities to bring more capacity online in the North Virginia region,” Fedorov writes in a note to GitHub employees, or GitHubbers as they’re known internally.
To ensure the move to Azure is completed within 12 months, GitHub’s leadership team is asking employees to delay new features in favor of the Azure migration. “We will be asking teams to delay feature work to focus on moving GitHub,” Fedorov says. [...]
GitHub is now aiming to move fully off its own data centers within two years. This gives GitHub 18 months to execute its migration, with a six-month buffer for any delays. Most of the work will be completed over the next 12 months, according to Fedorov.
Magari è la volta buona che abilitano IPv6.
