GitHub's agent-commit surge forces Microsoft to route traffic through AWS.

Microsoft confirmed on June 16 it's routing GitHub traffic through AWS after autonomous coding-agent activity pushed past reliability thresholds: 275M commits a week, nine outages in May, June availability dropping below the 99.9% enterprise SLA. This is the capability-versus-reliability gap made concrete. Agents that pass in testing overwhelm shared infrastructure in production. Microsoft running to a competitor's cloud to keep its own platform up is a vivid tell. If you depend on GitHub-hosted CI, plan for degraded SLAs and failover as machine-generated commit volume keeps climbing.
