[WASHINGTON] Amazon.com Inc filed a lawsuit on Friday challenging the Defense Department's choice of rival Microsoft Corp for a Pentagon cloud-computing contract worth as much as US$10 billion.
The lawsuit, which was filed under seal in the US Court of Federal Claims, marks Amazon's most aggressive push to defend its competitive edge in the lucrative and cutthroat world of federal government contracts.
Amazon explained why the suit was filed under seal.
