GoKawiilGitHub moves most Git repository replicas to Azure amid capacity crunch
GitHub reports that nearly all repositories on its platform now have copies split between its own data centers and Microsoft Azure, with the first repository replica landing in Azure's Central US region in August 2025. The company says most repositories currently keep two of their five replicas in Azure, which now serves roughly half of all Git traffic, while a small set of the busiest repositories remain constrained by a 25ms network round trip.
