By FY 2016, its annualized revenue run-rate had exceeded $12.1 billion, and FY 2017 witnessed the figure cross $18.9 billion. Microsoft’s commercial cloud business delivered more than $23 billion in revenue in FY 2018, topping the ambitious goal it had set, nine months ahead of schedule. During 2019, $38 billion in revenue was posted while FY 2020 witnessed its commercial cloud surpass $50 billion in revenue for the first time.
