The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), led by Chair Lina Khan, is set to investigate Microsoft Corp.'s Azure cloud computing business for potential anti-competitive practices, according to the Financial Times. The investigation will focus on Microsoft's Azure cloud service, examining licensing practices, exit fees, and compatibility restrictions. This move comes as part of a broader effort by US regulators to scrutinize Big Tech companies in the final days of Joe Biden's presidency. The probe aims to determine if Microsoft is leveraging its cloud dominance to stifle competition.
