Question
The difference between GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) and GitHub Enterprise Cloud is that GHES:
- A. includes authentication with SAML single sign-on and access provisioning with SAML or SCIM.
- B. can be deployed on both Windows and Linux.
- C. cannot enable rate limiting.
- D. is a self-hosted solution that allows organizations to have full control over their infrastructure. Correct
Explanation
GitHub Enterprise Server is self-hosted: the organization runs the appliance in its own data center or cloud account and controls the infrastructure, while GitHub Enterprise Cloud is hosted by GitHub. SAML single sign-on and SCIM provisioning are available on both, so they are not a difference. GHES runs as a virtual appliance on supported hypervisors and cloud platforms rather than being installed on Windows or Linux, and administrators can configure rate limits on GHES.
