Azure’s income, Microsoft’s cloud computing services have come to light in the presentation of the company’s latest financial results. And it is novelty because since its launch it had not been made public.
Microsoft first announced its cloud computing platform in its October 2008 PDC event and under the name of “Windows Azure.” The platform was officially launched on February 1, 2010 and – as other company services – was renamed Microsoft Azure. In the 15 years since its launch, Microsoft had never revealed individual Azure incomesince financial data always combined with those of other commercial products and services, which made it difficult to evaluate their true performance.
Azure’s income comes to light
Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, reported that Azure exceeded 75,000 million in income In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 for a 34% year -on -year increase.
By way of comparison, Amazon Web ServicesAmazon’s homologous platform generated 108,000 million dollars in revenue in 2024 and, according to the results of this year, an annual rate of approximately is expected 117,000 million dollars. This means that Microsoft Azure is far from AWS.
However, it should be noted that Azure exceeds other great competitors Like Alphabet. Recently, Google Cloud announced quarterly results of 13.6 billion dollars in revenue, which projects annual revenues of 54,000 million dollars, quite below Microsoft and AWS light years, the undisputed world leader in cloud computer services.
Microsoft has reported that it has incorporated additional capabilities in its data centers this quarter, because the demand continues to exceed the supply. These factors indicate that Azure is likely to maintain its solid growth rate in the next quarters. To promote them, the Redmond firm plans to add 30,000 million dollars in capital investments only in the next quarter.
And not just Microsoft. The AI revolution and the growth of cloud services such as Paas, Iaas and Saasis forcing to improve investment in Cloud infrastructure worldwide and only in the first quarter of 2025 grew 21% with an expense of 90.9 billion dollars. The three giants of the sector (AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud) need it to maintain spectacular income growth. It is projected that the last two will grow above 30% in 2025, while the Amazon platform will be close to 20% environments.
