### Comment:
this does matter though. helps continue to put azure on the map, increases investor confidence in their cloud platform, likely leads to further government contracts down the line (not just dod), etc. not to mention it’s on the heels of a hot streak of earnings/growth beats, the last of which barely moved the stock price from where it’s been for 4 months 
  
 let’s talk whole market in another thread. msft is slaying right now

### REPLY:
Agree completely—AWS has had the security protocols to satisfy DoD requirements for awhile and has a very good reputation. This says A LOT about the quality of Azure and MSFT; they have done some fucking impressive work on this... and look, DoD contracts provide guaranteed business and cash flow for an extended periods of time and if a recession should hit, this isn’t a bad set-up. There will definitely be more government contracts in store for them after this.
