As per the official sources and some media reports, it is clear that soon Microsoft will stop using Amazon’s cloud services to run its popular Minecraft video game.

Minecraft is a video game developed by the Mojang Studios band that was released as a public alpha in 2009 and officially released in November 2011. Microsoft is going to promote their product and cut back from its most fierce competitors’ products.

Presently, Amazon Web Services is a leading name in the public cloud infrastructure market. On the other side, Microsoft is working to promote its own clouding service. Microsoft Azure or Azure is a cloud-based computing service that is developed and run by Microsoft.

Let’s come to the point. Microsoft is planning to avoid using the Web services provided by Amazon to run Minecraft. Instead of AWS or Amazon Web Service, they are going to use Azure.

The spokesperson of Microsoft has stated that Mojang Studios used Amazon Web Services, and now they are planning to shift their cloud services to Azure. They have taken some appropriate steps regarding the shifting of the service over the ...
... last few years.

Microsoft has been working with AWS since 2014. If Microsoft uses Azure in place of Amazon Web Services, it means Azure is a direct contender of the Amazon Web Services.

If you see the history of Minecraft, then you will find that it is a game that has gained massive success with 200 million sales. It boasts of 125 million active monthly users. Currently, Microsoft is planning to update and reframe the dimension of Minecraft. The change in the cloud-based service, along with some crucial modifications can change the standard dimensions of the game.

The video game has such a broad base of the players and keeping that in mind, Kelloggs is working on making the cereal based on this game.

With the intent to transfer the cloud-based services, Microsoft spokesperson also stated the timeframe of this transfer in the same report. He said that they would start using Azure as the official cloud-based service for Minecraft by the end of the year. Undoubtedly, it is not an easy task.

It is one of the most significant or bravest steps by Microsoft as they are planning to be self-reliant with their own system and servers. Hopefully, by the end of the year, Microsoft will be able to successfully migrate Minecraft to its own Azure.
