EU Commission eyes AWS, Azure as DMA gatekeepers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The European Commission has preliminarily determined that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure should be designated as "gatekeepers" under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This preliminary finding, announced on June 25th, means both cloud services will face stricter regulatory scrutiny in the EU. While AWS and Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud providers in the EU respectively, they did not initially meet the DMA's quantitative thresholds for gatekeeper designation. This potential inclusion expands the compliance obligations for Amazon and Microsoft, who are already designated gatekeepers for other services. AI

IMPACT This designation could lead to increased competition and innovation in cloud services by imposing stricter obligations on AWS and Azure.

    European Commission preliminarily finds AWS and Azure should be listed as gatekeepers under Digital Markets Act, Amazon and Microsoft face stricter scrutiny

    欧盟委员会6月25日宣布，已就亚马逊云服务（AWS）及微软Azure初步认定两者应被列为《数字市场法》（DMA）下的“守门人”，并已正式知会两家公司。委员会初步认定，AWS和Azure分别为欧盟最大及第二大云计算服务，是企业触达客户的重要门户，尽管两者均未达到DMA规定的量化指定门槛。欧盟委员会于2025年11月18日启动针对亚马逊和微软云服务的市场调查，亚马逊和微软此前已因其他服务被列为DMA守门人。此次若云服务亦被纳入，将进一步扩大两家公司在欧盟面临的合规义务范围。（新浪财经）
