more than $3 billion, making it one of the largest cloud infrastructure leasing deals between any hyperscalers. The aim was to give Microsoft access to additional GPU and compute, which it could distribute between its own customers and for AI training and inference.

Microsoft has already had to turn to AWS for extra compute as it struggles to meet demand for GitHub's AI tools, with commits expected to increase 14x in the space of just one year.

According to the report, Microsoft was struggling with OCI's lack of Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), which it only offers to government cloud customers. Amazon and Google 's public clouds, on the other hand, do have FedRAMP.

Oracle recently announced a 47% rise in cloud revenues more than twice the growth of the entire business, which was already a very impressive 21%. At $9.9 billion, its cloud business is now worth more than half of its entire revenues. Are you a pro?
