Amazon and Microsoft cloud services could face stricter EU competition rules after Brussels launched probes to assess their market power.

Brussels had been under pressure to include the services under the scope of a major law because of the dominance of US cloud providers, which hold around two thirds of market share in the 27-nation bloc.
The European Commission – the EU's digital regulator – said on Tuesday that it will investigate whether Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft's Azure should come under the scope of the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
Despite being the third largest, Google Cloud was not included.
