Amazon lost out on a $10 billion defense contract in which President Trump had threatened to intervene. Trump’s wrath has limits, but reverse favoritism is a risk when government money is up for grabs, writes GinaChon.

Microsoft won a $10 billion contract to supply cloud computing services to the U.S. Pentagon, the Defense Department said on Oct. 25. The software company beat lead bidder Amazon.

President Donald Trump said in July that he was seriously considering intervening in the contract, saying “great companies” were complaining about it. Oracle and IBM are among the companies that had criticized the bidding process.

Microsoft’s Challenge of Amazon in the Cloud Gains ForceMicrosoft’s win of a landmark Pentagon cloud-computing contract adds force to the software giant’s effort to unseat Amazon.com as the undisputed leader in the multibillion-dollar cloud-computing market. Giving JEDI to Amazon would’ve unleashed scrutiny. Would, shoulda.. If only Ken Olsen of DEC had been a 'salesman', VMS would have owned this cloud business in the 80s.
