Amazon lost a major government contract to its rival Microsoft—and it’s pretty pissed about it.

The megacorp plans to challenge the Pentagon’s October decision to award its $10 billion cloud-computing contract to Microsoft. The plan seeks to modernize the military’s IT operations, consolidating the vast majority of its war systems into a system called JEDI. IBM and Oracle were also being considered for the contract; the former launched a legal challenge days before contract bids were due, while the latter is launching its third legal challenge last week.
