Microsoft forced to turn to AWS to boost GitHub cloud capacity following AI demand surge

Microsoft's GitHub is struggling to keep up with the sudden surge in demand for its services, primarily driven by the booming AI sector. To address this, Microsoft has had to enlist the help of AWS to provide additional cloud capacity. This unexpected collaboration highlights the growing pressure on Microsoft's Azure to handle the increased load, underscoring the intense competition in the cloud computing market. The reliance on AWS suggests that even major tech companies can't always rely solely on their own infrastructure to meet unexpected spikes in demand.
