GitHub is roughly 60% through its move to Azure, according to COO Kyle Daigle. He said the company is managing capacity problems and outages during the transition. Daigle also discussed GitHub’s place in Microsoft’s strategy around AI agents. The update offers a snapshot of a major platform migration and the company’s positioning in emerging developer tooling.
