Earlier this month, the Pentagon awarded cloud computing contracts worth $9 billion to Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc’s Google, AWS, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL) as part of the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract.

The Pentagon said work will be performed for a maximum of five years from December this year through 2028.
