#Gitlab is currently doing a Dry Run before actual migration on August 11.

In the linked blog-post I found this note:

NOTE to users in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria: GitLab.com may not be accessible after the migration to Google. Google has informed us that there are legal restrictions that are imposed for those countries.

    Why are they migrating in the first place?

    @gitpush because azure is crap

    @Jacobgc not sure about crap but I'm damn sure it is expensive. In my old job we used Azure for two years then I left the company but in those two years no problems at all, faced downtime for 30 minutes three times in the past two years

    Damn it. Now my North Korean developers won't be able to access my codebase! Stupid gitlab!!! /S

    @Wack my ground floor level understanding is that on Azure, data is not encrypted at rest, whereas in GCP it is. Those states are embargoed re: crypto so there's nothing that can be done.

    Awesome! So if I move there I won't be (officially) able to access Google or gitlab anymore?

    Hmm let's look for jobs there, then.
