Clarify data routing for GitHub Copilot with BYOK (OpenAI keys) #8917
Description
Description:
The current documentation doesn't clearly explain how requests are routed when using GitHub Copilot with Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for OpenAI models.
Question:
When users configure their own OpenAI API key in GitHub Copilot, do requests go directly to OpenAI servers or do they still route through Microsoft infrastructure?
This information is important for:
- Data sovereignty compliance
- Understanding data flow for enterprise security policies
- Making informed decisions about BYOK vs standard Copilot usage
Expected outcome:
Clear documentation stating whether BYOK requests go directly to the chosen provider (OpenAI) or continue routing through Microsoft servers.
