Not sure what the article is counting, but at least in the Q1 earnings call[0] Office 365, Dynamics, etc. are separate:

I'm also an MS employee. Are you sure no Office service revenue is included? I assumed from the size of the gap they must be piling it in. If not, that leaves an even larger unaccounted-for gap between Azure and the claimed 24 billion.

Under C+E, the last time they tipped the hand on cloud revenue it was ~18 billion with about a third from Azure AFAIK. To me, that is woefully misleading to compare us on 1:1 terms with AWS.
