The five-year strategic partnership to expand their existing collaboration involved Fujitsu naming Microsoft its premier cloud partner.

The Microsoft platforms involved in the project are Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft Power Platform, and Viva.
Fujitsu will deliver skilling initiatives to enable cloud sales and engineering training and certification for 28,000 employees over the next five years in Japan, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, across all solution areas and Microsoft Cloud for Industries.

Microsoft recently announced that the public would soon be able to purchase its Dev Box cloud-powered workstations sometime in July 2023. Microsoft Dev Box gives developers access to what are effectively preconfigured, ready-to-code cloud-based PCs that can be used for testing different projects, as first announced at the Build event last year.
Microsoft developed its Dev Box to help developers switch between projects more quickly by eliminating the hours or days of effort required to complete time-consuming onboarding procedures, including installing and configuring necessary tools. The Dev Box can be accessed from any web browser because it is based on the Windows 365 platform.
Although Microsoft has previously stated that it intends to charge for computation and storage on an hourly basis, the company hasn't provided any pricing information for its Dev Boxes.
