They've had a long history of this kind of stability issue when migrating or trying to migrate acquisitions from their previous stack to an MS one.

Is Github moving to .Net and/or SQLServer, or is it "just" moving everything to Azure?

Most of GitHub runs in its own data centers. Services like actions runners and Codespaces use Azure.

The latter.
