ADO is widely used inside Microsoft, with a variety of internal extensions to integrate with our internal build & deployment solutions.

AFAIK, there aren't any plans in Azure to give up ADO in favor of GitHub. If anything, with the push to standardize builds internally, it wouldn't make sense to move to GitHub for at least another 2-5 years.

Obviously, I don't speak for my employer and leadership may have other directions in mind.

Even then... I don't expect Github actions to go away any time soon. I would expect a lot of the underlying systems, build agents and workers to be the same over time though.

Azure DevOps and Github largely cover different, though overlapping market segments.

I would be slightly more concerned about Github Enterprise and Devops co-mingling over time, as I think that may be inevitable, which makes me concerned over the public/free resources that Github offers in the long run... even then, migrating to Gitlab is an option should that time come. My only hope would be better discoverability and social coding with Gitlab to better match Github over the interim time.

Even then, it's just a possibility and somewhat unlikely that MS would burn this much karma.
