Microsoft has missed the deadline to deliver a special version of Azure for EU cloud providers as per an agreement with CISPE, leading to possible legal action. The issue began when CISPE filed a complaint about the high costs of Microsoft services outside Azure. While Microsoft had promised to develop Azure Local, it acknowledged its inability to meet the commitments. Microsoft and CISPE have now shifted focus to alternative approaches to meet licensing obligations, abandoning the Hoster Product due to shortcomings in the agreed features.
"Both Microsoft and CISPE have now agreed that Azure Local will not deliver the full set of features outlined in the Agreement."
"Microsoft committed to build the Hoster Product by the middle of last month, but sources indicated they would inevitably miss the deadline due to underestimating the engineering work involved."
