Outlook apps dump AWS and head for an all-Microsoft infrastructure with new architecture
Eighteen months after their launch, the Outlook app for iOS and Android is finally getting an all-Microsoft infrastructure to improve its ability to meet customer requirements for data privacy and security. The old Amazon-based cache is being jettisoned for a brand new architecture that is shared by Exchange Online, Exchange on-premises and non-Microsoft email servers like Gmail. It’s a big change and it’s happening now. https://www.petri.com/outlook-ios-android-dumping-aws-q3
Is this migration already done globally? Looking at related Technet article which has been edited five days ago contains following line:
"We are moving the Outlook service to Office 365, and plan to have that move completed soon."
So it`s still ongoing?
I believe the new Outlook.com now uses the Azure service when mobile Outlook clients connect to their mailboxes.
The technet article is still not updated. So does this mean that using the Outlook app on iOS/Android is still "routing" all requests through a US hosted AWS instance? I would have expected that this process is completed by now? Any offical updates? Microsoft? We are mostly running EMEA based Office 365 tenants for our customers. And as most of the time having "no" data in the US is still an impotant topic here in europe.
- This is great news, cant come soon enough.
