How? AWS already has 3 entire regions dedicated to the US government and those aren't going away anytime soon.

AWS certainly has numerous US government contracts; however, none of those are from the Pentagon. With the awarding of the contract, the Pentagon specifically has chosen Microsoft over AWS.

Note: Pentagon != all US govt agencies
