What do you mean by enterprise cloud? The default GitHub enterprise cloud plan is hosted on the same infra as “public github.” Do you have a link to what you mean?

It sounds like they're talking about "GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency." This is a separate product to the standard "GitHub Enterprise Cloud" (including Enterprise Managed Users) which runs on normal github.com infrastructure.

If you have a Data Residency tenant, you access it through an endpoint like octocorp.ghe.com

GitHub seems to try to use specific language here to avoid this confusion, because they are quite different products, but it seem to me they were named confusingly in the first place...

Bottom of the status page links to the Enterprise regions?

> Check GitHub Enterprise Cloud status by region:

> - Australia: au.githubstatus.com

> - EU: eu.githubstatus.com

> - Japan: jp.githubstatus.com

> - US: us.githubstatus.com

Interested in this difference as well.

It'd make sense if there was a "you get what you pay for" attitude at MS re: public GitHub. It's not a good position for the free users, but, what else are you gonna do? Stand up your own? Retrain yourself on your SDLC in a new platform?

They need a competitor.
