We have set up a new enterprise and are migrating to GHE. For us this was a no-brainer; we get our own isolated environment, Enterprise Managed Users with Entra OIDC provisioning and Github Copilot in EU data residency. https://eu.githubstatus.com/posts/dashboard looks pretty good to me. We will still keep our github.com enterprise around for public repositories. I’m genuinely curious to know why a company would prefer github.com over GHE?
I wasn't directly involved, but working in a couple of shops that used GH, I think they really steered people away from GHE, my impression was it's a product they don't really want to support - I vaguely recall hearing that upgrades were very painful on GHE, and the scaling / failover story was not great. Can anyone else confirm?
To clarify, we are on Github Enterprise Cloud, not Server. The option for enterprise managed users with your own ghe.com subdomain and data residency options is still prominently shown in the enterprise signup flow. https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/enterpris...
