The European Commission has opened three market investigations on cloud computing services under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Two market investigations will assess whether Amazon and Microsoft should be designated as gatekeepers for their cloud computing services, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, under the DMA, in other words whether they act as important gateways between businesses and consumers, despite not meeting the DMA gatekeeper thresholds for size, user number and market position. The third market investigation will assess if the DMA can effectively tackle practices that may limit competitiveness and fairness in the cloud computing sector in the EU. 

Cloud computing is the backbone of many digital services, and it is crucial for AI development. To foster innovation, trust, and Europe's strategic autonomy, cloud services must be provided in a fair, open and competitive environment.
