This! Windows got split up internally under Nadella into Azure and Office groups.

If anything, a lot of this means they're also boosting Azure even more by doing the same thing with their enterprise database areas. This is a boon for any organizations stuck in Oracle data land that haven't gotten heavily into cloud yet or are unsure about jumping to Azure.

Now moving to Azure doesn't just mean sticking with the SQL Server landscape, and possibly also means you can get some analytical and data replication stuff tied into Azure Data Factory, CosmoDB, etc. a little more cleanly.

Amazon has a tool to migrate or duplicate from Oracle to RDS, but with Azure you can just be cloud native! (Not sure it will work that well, but could be a selling point).
