A key ammo that Microsoft has to get customers to its cloud is their Windows and Office 365 franchise. It is likely like many traditional companies Pentagon wanted to move their mail, storage, powerpoint/excel/word, etc to this cloud rather than use lambda or other hot features that AWS has.

- slenk 7y agoHaving used O365 + Azure as an administrator, I have found it is much easier to use Azure to trace security events than AWS. They also have the capability to detect massive file copies/deletions for special locations, etc (i forgot the technical term) I love AWS, but I have seen some benefits with integrating O365 and Azure.
