If you've watched the last couple Build Conferences (Microsoft's annual developer conference) they frequently demonstrate their CI/CD pipeline based on Github checkins, not VSTS checkins (just takes a webhook invocation and all the source-hosting sites support sending those out on check-in or merge).

A zillion companies use Github. This does not qualify them to operate Github.

Hasn't GitHub been running on Microsoft Azure for a few years now?

What does GitHub's choice of cloud have to do with Microsoft's aptitude to take over an existing, huge, critical piece of the open source world? From a business perspective, or an operational one?
