Microsoft finally discloses Azure sales, echoing Ballmer's old complaint about cloud transparency
dinabass · x · 2026-09-03
Microsoft is finally opting to separately disclose Azure sales. Reporter dinabass recalled that years ago, then-CEO Steve Ballmer plopped down next to her at an investor meeting and complained — while CFO Amy Hood was speaking — that Microsoft needed to share more cloud numbers.
The disclosure change comes amid a flurry of Microsoft cloud news and matters for anyone tracking Azure growth separately from the rest of the cloud business.
