GitHub got bought

• Price: $7.5bn in stock. Getting Microsoft stock now is probably good, should have good growth over next 3 to five years (the golden handcuff period, etc.).
• See the overview deck from Microsoft.
  • Very qualitative, not much (or any) business case numbers stuff.
• Will “operate independently,” Microsoft’s Nat Friedman to be CEO of GitHub, reporting up to Scott Guthrie.
• Does this imply Microsoft will be moving OSS stuff to the GitHub business?
• How does this fit with TFS, whatever “Sourcesafe” is now? Coté has no idea about the current state of that business, esp. w/r/t to git. Slides say there’s be the usual seamless integration in VisualStudio, also some marketplace thing additions (presumably, pull in GitHub repos).
• Don’t forget the private cloud version of GitHub, plus using it for cloud native/DevOps config storage and release management stuff.
• Microsoft’s blog post, GitHub’s blog post.
• Google Was Bidding Against Microsoft For GitHub, Report Says | CRN Mobile # Kubernetes Korner
• Four years after release of Kubernetes 1.0, it has come a long way
• Enterprise hits and misses - AI hits the curve, SAP subverts the two-speed enterprise # This episode brought to you by: Datadog!
