“GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency” is hosted on separate infrastructure and dedicated subdomains under *.ghe.com. It’s been around since November 2024z

It’s not the same thing as GitHub Enterprise Cloud hosted on the shared global network on github.com.

So confusing and so Microsoft. They love to have licensing so complicated their own sales people aren't up to date and have to rely on third party spreadsheets.

Edit:

Read that document - why do more people not do the self hosted option with GitHub Enterprise Server ?

At the point you are self hosting, you have many more options ranging from a simple ssh git server with pick your favorite cicd, to gitlab ce, to forgejo, and more.

GHE.com has only been around since November 2024. Most GHEC customers I imagine are still stuck on the shared global infrastructure on github.com.
