Euro clouds lodge another complaint against Microsoft over anti-competitive licenses
Microsoft's changes included Flexible Virtualization, allowing customers with Software Assurance or subscription licenses to use licensed software to build and/or install systems and run them on any cloud providers' infrastructure. The Windows giant also added an option to SA that allows Windows Server to be licensed on virtual cores without tying users to the physical cores present on a server.
"On the contrary, the new contractual terms imposed unilaterally by Microsoft on 1st October 2022 add new unfair practices to the list. Microsoft's ongoing position and behaviors are irreparably damaging the European cloud ecosystem and depriving European customers of choice in their cloud deployments."
Another example, we're told, is that in Azure, customers can run a datacenter VM,"which is the default VM, you install it, they're using a standard license from on-prem, but you also cannot do that in a hosting scenario. We are getting individual licenses now but they're tied to the VM type and the bits that you have to install."
