Microsoft Beats Amazon For Pentagon's $10 Billion Cloud Computing Contract

Microsoft has won the Pentagon's $10 billion (roughly Rs. 70,840 crores) cloud computing contract, the US Defense Department said on Friday, beating out favourite Amazon.com. The contracting process had long been mired in conflict of interest allegations, even drawing the attention of US President Donald Trump, who has publicly taken swipes at Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos. Trump in August said his administration was reviewing Amazon's bid after complaints from other companies.

The Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure Cloud (JEDI) contract is part of a broader digital modernisation of the Pentagon meant to make it more technologically agile. Specifically, a goal of JEDI is to give the military better access to data and the cloud from battlefields and other remote locations.
