EU Commission takes preliminary view AWS, Azure should be DMA gatekeepers

European Commission tells Amazon and Microsoft it takes the preliminary view their AWS and Azure cloud services should be designated DMA gatekeepers, citing entrenched EU market lead, lock-in and bundled AI tools; both firms may contest before a final ruling.

Verified AI-drafted European Commission (Digital Markets Act), press release, 25 June 2026

What it does not test. Does not establish that AWS or Azure will actually be designated, or that any gatekeeper obligation has taken effect.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Preliminary Commission view only, no designation or obligation yet in force, EU-wide cloud market. European Sovereignty Index
