The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has raised concerns about AWS and Microsoft dominating the UK cloud services market, describing it as a two-horse race that stifles competition for smaller providers. The CMA plans to utilize the upcoming DMCC Act to potentially enforce pro-competition conduct requirements on these major suppliers, designating them as having strategic market status due to their unilateral power. AWS, critiquing the report's direction, deemed the proposed interventions unnecessary and highlighted issues with Microsoft's pricing structure affecting competition in the cloud space.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) argues that the proposed interventions by the CMA are unwarranted, challenging the fairness of the competition review process.
The CMA's findings suggest that AWS and Microsoft hold significant market power, resulting in disadvantages for smaller cloud providers in the UK.
