In my view it's a longer term proposition to gain more customers for Azure/Microsoft Cloud. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon all see the future of computing as being in the cloud.
If Microsoft can integrate Azure and GitHub to make it easier for developers to deploy and run their code in the cloud, then that means more Azure customers.
This likely means that GCP and AWS integrations will take second place.
- pjmlp 8y agoThey already do so. They had a joint presentation at BUILD 2018, how to have a full CI/CD pipeline in Azure, with code taken from Github. Now in retrospective, maybe the talks were already ongoing.
- pythonaut_16 8y agoTo be fair though, that sort of thing has already been very possible for anyone with the desire and engineering resources. The only thing those types of demonstrations and announcements tend to actually do is announce/release a tool that does most of the legwork for you.
- chaosite 8y agoThat doesn't make sense to me. GitHub integration is already pretty easy, the GitHub API is fine. Heroku for example is already pretty well integrated with GitHub, and they didn't have to buy anything.
- ozim 8y agoMaybe you know next year it will by coincidence get harder to integrate with Heroku. If they would buy it, somehow it could get harder to integrate with Azure.
