I feel like the long term plan is obvious: all roads lead to Azure.

- WorldMaker 6y agoWell yes and no, GitHub is increasingly powered by Azure (GitHub Actions and CodeSpaces as obvious examples), but like I said I've got the feeling that "Azure DevOps" is more likelier to be retired as a brand/product line than GitHub will. You can tell that Microsoft absolutely respects GitHub as a brand and just based on raw public changelogs and available roadmaps there seems to be a lot more investment in labor and "spirit" in GitHub than Azure DevOps right now. Again, there are nothing more than rumors at this point. Yet there was always something of an impression that when Microsoft's bharry retired the lights might go out on Microsoft's TFS/VSO/Azure DevOps legacy, and the timing of the GitHub purchase coincides with that idea that GitHub is a full replacement. I've even heard some of how strongly Microsoft sales people are trying to encourage on-premises server installs to move to GitHub Enterprise (and away from legacy TFS products). Many signs seem to be pointing to GitHub will be the last product standing (powered by Azure).
