- prepend 7y agoI am afraid that Microsoft will kill GitHub stuff in favor of azure stuff, but I think the risk is low because it seems like GitHub’s whole purchase was for goodwill. If I had to bet, I think “azure devops” will go away and GitHub will eat it. Currently the Actions free tier is cheaper than using azure build pipelines which is kind of weird, but nice for GitHub users. I think it’s because GitHub is a limited subset (ie, doesn’t need to support Windows IaaS build types) so it may be cheaper to run.
- m_ke 7y agoI'm convinced their goal is to leverage GitHub to win the cloud wars and that they'll keep porting all of their Azure products onto it until GitHub is the cloud provider. I bet we'll see a click to deploy button on github for most common web frameworks soon. Having your git history hooked up to your deployed infrastructure will allow them to do some amazing things around live debugging. (similar to what google is doing with cloud source repositories https://cloud.google.com/debugger/ https://cloud.google.com/debugger/).
