To kick off his company’s Ignite conference in Atlanta this week, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that Adobe will run three of its most popular software as a service apps on the Microsoft Azure IaaS cloud.
The move is a power play by Microsoft and Adobe on multiple fronts, analysts say.

In that sense, it shows the dynamic nature of partnerships across the cloud market.
