Microsoft is reportedly cutting hundreds of jobs at its Azure cloud unit, specifically impacting teams such as Azure for Operators and Mission Engineering. The layoffs come after previous job cuts at Activision Blizzard and Xbox earlier this year. Despite the layoffs, Microsoft continues to prioritize strategic growth areas and investments in support of customers and partners. The Azure cloud unit's growth is attributed to investments in AI and partnerships like ChatGPT maker OpenAI. Additionally, Microsoft is restructuring its mixed reality organization but will maintain sales of its HoloLens 2 augmented reality headset.
