Pretty sure GitHub Enterprise Cloud is just Github hosting their enterprise server for you on Azure so you don't have to do the patching yourself.

Github enterprise cloud is on github.com and with more features: http://github.com/account/enterprises/new http://github.com/account/enterprises/new They don't host github enterprise server for you (though gitlab has something called gitlab dedicated which they host gitlab ee for you).

  Why is there an eu github status then ? https://eu.githubstatus.com/uptime https://eu.githubstatus.com/uptime

    Data residency is a thing.

      And how would that explain the way higher SLA ?

  > X-Stat header that controls whether the server operates in enterprise mode. Perhaps this header mentioned in the article is related, maybe that's the toggle for the enterprise mode? Seems there is at least traces of "enterprise mode" on the normal github servers.

    There is no “the toggle”. Read the article. A GHES appliance (and github.com) is dozens of services working together, some of which act differently in ES mode, so there are toggles galore. But probably not a lot that can be toggled by user input :(

      I did read the article and that was a direct quote from the section "From GHES to GitHub.com". The parent comment was talking about the "GitHub Enterprise Cloud" not "GitHub Enterprise Server" which are two distinct products. The way that they where able to escalate the RCE from a GHES environment to github.com environment is by injecting this header and enabling this enterprise feature. This supports the idea that "Github enterprise cloud is on github.com".

It sure isn’t! GitHub Enterprise Cloud is simply an enterprise plan on the regular multitenant github.com. Your repositories are on disk right next to everyone else that uses github.com. There is no segregated storage or compute. I wish they had a plan to literally host GHES for you because then more people in the company would be forced to reckon with how terrible GHES is from an operational perspective. It is stuck ca. 15-20 years ago conceptually.
