The European Commission has provisionally concluded that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure should be designated as “access gatekeepers” under the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), the Commission said on June 25, 2026. The move signals that the Commission sees the two cloud platforms as having systemic market positions that may require specific regulatory constraints. #AWS #Azure #AMZN #MSFT #DigitalMarketsAct
If confirmed, the gatekeeper designation would subject the services to stricter obligations under the DMA aimed at limiting unfair practices by dominant digital providers. The Commission’s preliminary finding starts a formal process; affected companies typically have opportunities to respond before any final decision is adopted. The step reflects EU scrutiny of major US cloud providers amid broader efforts to regulate key digital infrastructure. #FiatNews
