Microsoft has temporarily put on hold its data center construction projects in the United Kingdom, Australia, and in the American states of Illinois, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. This move marks another strategic shift following last month's scaling back of plans in the Netherlands. Notably, this decision occurs amidst a 28% quarterly growth in Azure cloud business revenue, attracting considerable attention. While emphasizing the importance of strategic agility, Microsoft has refrained from divulging specific details regarding these changes.
