European Union regulators have stated that the cloud computing services of Amazon and Microsoft should fall under the EU's digital market rules. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
According to regulators, these services hold a significant market share and their operations could affect competition. The EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) imposes strict requirements on large digital platforms and limits their dominant market position.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the world's largest cloud computing providers. EU regulators believe that subjecting these companies to DMA rules will ensure fair competition for consumers and businesses.
The decision is not yet final, and responses from the companies are expected. However, this step demonstrates the EU's active stance in regulating the digital market.
