Well after all this...
Pentagon cancels $13 billion JEDI cloud contract with Microsoft amid Amazon's claims of 'improper pressure' from Donald Trump.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-07/pentagon-10-billion-cloud-deal-donald-trump-joe-biden/100272818The good news is, Microsoft is still one of the preferred partners to be involved in the new Biden-led DoD cloud infrastructure project, along with Amazon. According to the Pentagon, they're the only two that could meet the government's requirements. The new contract will be multi-cloud, multi-vendor.
Regardless of who the main cloud infrastructure contracts end up going to, I think the DoD will still have a strong need for Microsoft ecosystem software and solutions. So it can only be a good thing for LiveTiles that the opportunities are finally going to be available for pursuing, rather than being help up in endless litigation.
The biggest loss is that the new contract won't have such a good name. JWCC (Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability). Really? JWCC just doesn't roll off the tongue like JEDI did.
