EU Targets Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon Cloud Units for Big Tech “Gatekeeper” Rules, Reuters Reports

General News

Summary

The EU is moving to classify Microsoft and Amazon cloud units as gatekeepers under the Digital Markets Act. That would subject AWS and Azure to stricter rules on self-preferencing, interoperability, and data portability. The action raises compliance pressure on two major cloud platforms and could reshape how they compete in Europe. The piece also briefly mentions a separate Microsoft power-supply deal for a West Texas data center campus.
