Bloomberg sees EU cloud DMA call in November

Bloomberg reports that the EU’s cloud Digital Markets Act probe is on track to conclude in November with AWS and Azure meeting the gatekeeper test, though the draft timing could slip. The Business Times report says a designation would give both providers 6 months to meet interoperability and anti-lock-in duties; the Commission’s June preliminary finding already cited AI tools and partnerships as a decisive factor in cloud procurement, and the Commission told Bloomberg that its assessment remains ongoing with no final decision. European teams renewing AI-hosting contracts can put portability and exit terms into vendor reviews now, then revisit them when the Commission publishes its decision; the archive’s account of Europe’s sovereign-AI buildout maps the infrastructure stakes.
