The GCP move was decided upon months before Microsoft acquired GitHub[1]. [1]: https://venturebeat.com/2018/04/06/why-and-how-gitlab-abandoned-microsoft-azure-

  No doubt, but the Microsoft acquisition must have pushed the priority of the move through the roof.

    Negative. I work at GitLab. I can assure you that GitHub getting acquired did not have any bearing on the speed at which we made this migration happen. It's been in the works for a long time, and in none of the meetings I've attended has anyone said "Github now is owned by Microsoft, we need to get on GCP FASTER."

      Someone should have then. On the other hand, you only talk about the speed of the migration, could also be an overly-specific denial and you've known about a potential acquisition before. Call me a tinfoil nutjob, I still don't buy it and would move away from azure too in that situation.
