I recently read a blog post from Github about them operating their own datacenter <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;githubengineering.com&#x2F;githubs-metal-cloud&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;githubengineering.com&#x2F;githubs-metal-cloud&#x2F;</a><p>Im not positive, but it sounds like a fairly recent switch from a cloud provider to their own datacenter. If thats the case, Id expect a number of outages to come in the following months.
