A faster, more flexible GitHub Enterprise

GitHub has announced a new version of GitHub Enterprise, now available on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which aims to streamline its use for developers and businesses globally by leveraging AWS's scalable infrastructure and compliance standards. The update features significant infrastructure improvements, including enhanced stability and redundancy through Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and advanced online backup utilities that eliminate downtime during data backups. Security features are bolstered with improved audit logs and new SAML support for single sign-on with providers like OneLogin and Okta. The release also introduces several tools to aid in software development and deployment, such as split diffs, email comment replies, and enhanced issue tracking capabilities. Existing users can download the update, while new users are offered a 45-day free trial on AWS or VMware, with demonstrations available at AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas.
