Amazon to protest Pentagon award of cloud contract to Microsoft 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy EFE-EPAThe United States tech multinational Amazon announced Thursday that it would protest the Pentagon’s award to Microsoft of a cloud computing contract valued at up to $10 billion. Amazon’s cloud unit Amazon Web Services had been the favorite to win and already had a contract with the Central Intelligence Agency. The comment appeared to be directed at Trump, who on July 19 called for an investigation of the Pentagon contract. “I’m getting tremendous complaints about the contract with the Pentagon and Amazon,” Trump told reporters at the time.
