Microsoft joins European cloud collective following settlement Microsoft finally joins CISPE after months of wrangling.
After months of battling it out with cloud providers globally, and particularly in Europe, regarding its alleged anticompetitive business practices, Microsoft has now joined CISPE, the group that lodged the complaint in the first place.
“We are grateful to the CISPE membership for accepting our application as a non-voting adherent member and will continue to focus on building a constructive partnership that supports European cloud providers," Microsoft said in a statement to The Register.
In the meantime, skepticism surrounding Microsoft’s status as a CISPE member has raised questions about the effects on the organization’s independence.
CISPE hasn’t released a formal announcement regarding Microsoft’s inclusion.
