Microsoft fairly and squarely beat Amazon in $10B Pentagon cloud contract

&gt; Disclosure: The writer owns Microsoft stock and holds no shares in Amazon.<p>On the one hand, this would be a reasonable investment strategy if one sincerely believed in the stuff she&#x27;s saying. On the other hand, the things she&#x27;s saying would be strategically correct given her holdings.<p>A bit of a credibility chicken-and-egg.

This article goes completely off the rails fairly fast. It is meant to be an article about a DoD contract but brings up global cloud coverage (for the DoD in the US?), HoloLens (???), and hybrid cloud without a real justification for why any of that would be relevant to the topic at hand.<p>This is a low quality article with a clickbait title. There&#x27;s no substance here. It almost feels like an article written by a bot splicing different generic company information together.

That is asinine to say AWS doesn&#x27;t do hybrid cloud, or that hybrid cloud means AWS Outposts. AWS has a whole suite of services for building hybrid clouds and bringing cloud ops to data centers. Hybrid cloud for Azure has mostly been a sales strategy for MS to sell cloud services to their existing customer base. AWS has 50% marketshare of cloud services compared to Azure&#x27;s 15%.

The writer is a typical stock speculator not a real technical analyist. This is just another mesh of buzzwords to get stocks going for momentum trading

Fairly and squarely. Pentagon contact. FFS.

I&#x27;m not sure I&#x27;d trust something standing the test of time based on Donald Trumps decisions ;-)
