This should come as no surprise to anybody. MSFT is very well suited for large contracts, and has more years under their belt than AWS. Amazon has better technology on some but not all fronts, and Microsoft has loads more experience dealing with very large clients like this.

Pentagon watchdog sets phasers to none, clears $10bn JEDI contract process but leaves door open for lawsuits
Despite two years of argument in which the world’s largest tech companies have hurled accusations of corruption, incompetence and presidential malice, a 317-page report [PDF] by the DoD’s inspector general argues that the procurement process was followed, and gives it a clean bill of health.
