Watch out, Amazon and Microsoft - the UK's competition watchdog this morning confirmed it will investigate the big cloud infrastructure services players. The move follows a recommendation from telecoms regulator, Ofcom. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it will carry out its own scrutiny into public cloud infrastructure services over the issues Ofcom identified. Under the microscope will be companies making it difficult for customers to switch cloud provider, or to use more than one provider to adopt a multi-cloud strategy.
