Having your repo in Amazon's cloud instead of Microsoft's cloud doesn't mean that you "own" it to a greater degree, does it? It's just a different company holding the keys for you.

True. It's just a lot safer because of how AWS has their permissions/access/ACL setup. Not to mention the attack surface is less since you don't expose your repo organization name, repo users, etc like they have it out in open in GitHub.

How's this different from doing the same thing in Azure?
