Microsoft beats Amazon for Pentagon's $10 billion cloud computing contract via SABCNewsOnline

The contracting process had long been mired in conflict of interest allegations, even drawing the attention of 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.

In a statement, an Amazon Web Services spokesman said the company was “surprised about this conclusion.” “If I am a warfighter, I want as much data as you could possibly give me,” Lieutenant General Jack Shanahan, the director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, told reporters in August describing the importance of the contract.

Microsoft said it was working on a comment. IBM and Oracle did not immediately return requests for comment.
