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?
