Euro cloud crew says we-won't-sue deal with Microsoft is 'off-track'
- Cloud Infrastructure Service Providers of Europe (CISPE) has said Microsoft is not meeting technical commitments that formed a settlement agreement designed to settle the legal dispute with a group of European cloud providers over software licensing. CISPE has opened the European Cloud Computing Observatory to write progress updates. Microsoft has already met some of its commitments, but two major areas have been left behind. The MOU is designed to give CISPE members confidence that Microsoft's SPLA licensing programme will continue for five years at least and offer a competitive means for them to combine Microsoft software with their own cloud infrastructures, but recent price changes from Microsoft have been found to undermine this commitment, according to the Technical Committee on Cloud Service Provider Interoperability and Portability (ECCO).
- The first progress update published by ECCO classifies the overall "status of the Microsoft MOU with CISPE as Amber/ Off-track". According to ECCO, Hoster Product Development and Service Provider Licensing Agreement Program Support and Sustained Competitiveness are behind schedule. The CISPE had proposed its concerns in November 2022 regarding the Microsoft charging up to five times more for certain software to run on third party infrastructure than its own. Additionally, CISPE also took issue with the technical adjustments needed to run other programs on rival cloud services.
- CISPE has campaigned for Broadcom, which had changed the license agreements for VMware software, to reconsider its terms.
- Microsoft has nine months to meet its settlement requirements signed in July 2019. Failure to do so could result in legal action again.
- There is a CISPE member concern that too much focus has been applied to the development of Azure Local as the route to delivering MOU requirements. Teams dedicated to the development of that product may not be working in full understanding of the legal requirements of the MOU and thus may not be prioritising the right work.
- ECCO is urging Microsoft to assess the potential of Azure Local to meet the needs, and to suggest alternatives sooner rather than later if it finds it is not the right solution.
- CISPE and Microsoft last year agreed to an MoU that sought to end unfair software practices and create new benefits for all European cloud infrastructure service providers.
- CISPE's goal is for Microsoft to ensure a fair and competitive market between European cloud infrastructure providers to sell Microsoft software.
- Ultimately the aim of the MoU is not the development of any specific product but for Microsoft to "ensure a fair and competitive market for European cloud infrastructure providers to sell Microsoft software to their customers".
- Azure Local was previously branded Azure HCI Stack.
