AWS sales boss claims Microsoft’s softened cloud licensing regime is a sham
A senior vice president at Amazon Web Services has accused Microsoft of making cosmetic licence changes to appease regulators but continuing to ensure its wares are more expensive when run in rivals’ clouds.
Microsoft president Brad Smith described the software behemoth’s change of stance as allowing licence portability into Euro-clouds, plus letting such operators offer a bundle that competes with Microsoft 365.
“This is not fairness in licensing and is not what customers want,” Garman added. “We continue to hear from customers around the world that MSFT’s discriminatory licensing practices are costing them millions of dollars and the freedom to work with whom they wish.”
