@ 2024/02/28It is getting in the way of our cloud monopoly
Google Cloud has slammed Microsoft's cloud computing tactics, saying its rival is after a monopoly that would hurt new technologies like generative AI.
Microsoft and Amazon have faced probes in Britain, the EU and the US over their power in cloud computing. Google is far behind the two leaders. Microsoft's link-up with ChatGPT maker OpenAI has also raised worries.
Google Cloud boss Amit Zavery said: " We are concerned about Microsoft using their old tricks where they had a lot of monopoly on the software before and now they are trying to do that in cloud now. So they are making this whole closed garden, which is totally run and owned by Microsoft, and customers who want to do any of this stuff, you have to go to Microsoft only."
"If Microsoft cloud doesn't stay open, we will have problems and long-term issues, even in next generation technologies like AI as well, because Microsoft is forcing customers to go to Azure in many ways," Zavery said, talking about Microsoft's cloud computing service.
