Microsoft is making progress in closing the gap on Amazon in the cloud-computing market, with its Azure service attracting more businesses. Microsoft's adoption of generative AI features, powered by Open AI's technology, is drawing clients to its Azure cloud-computing service. Strong earnings are anticipated for Microsoft, driven by the billions invested in generative AI. RBC Capital Markets analyst Rishi Jaluria believes Azure's growth is due to Microsoft's overall AI strategy and expects the company to capture market share from Amazon. While Google is also investing in AI, analysts predict that Google Cloud's significant boost from AI will not come until 2025. Amazon is integrating AI technology into AWS through its investment in Anthropic.
