I am surprised that Github went with S3 for this download. Isn't there a Azure equivalent of S3 for large object storage ? This just shows the dominance of AWS.
- smudgymcscmudge 7y agoGitHub is a heavy s3 user. Pretty much every file you upload to GitHub that isn’t part of a hit commit is stored on s3.
- powersnail 7y agoIt’s a good thing that MS don’t force every team to always choose MS product, especially for a trivial thing like a download storage. Maybe the team was more familiar with AWS, who knows. I’m just glad that they can make this decision.
- dspillett 7y agoGitHub was a heavy S3 user before MS took control. It may eventually move over to using their infrastructure more, maybe using it exclusively in the distant future, but there is no point rushing in such a massive systemic change. MS presumably learned something from the debacle that was moving HotMail's back-end from Solaris+Apache to Windows+IIS back in '97/'98!
