Why would Microsoft be disproportionately affected by this? Are we expecting similar decrees from AWS and GCP? Or was Microsoft operating with less runway before this began?
Nobody gets fired for buying Microsoft..er IBM. Inertia too.

Wow. First of all, I'm curious to what proportions this is driven primarily by remote office work (O365), videoconferencing streaming, recreational video streaming (does Disney+ run on Azure?), or what. But second... I'm fascinated by the concept of prioritization rules in place rather than simply raising prices. I wonder if it "looks bad" to raise prices, or if the vast majority of customers already have locked-in p…
Apparently Team usage is up significantly. You can do video conferencing via Team which is one aspect that is quite different from Slack. I imagine there are some new use cases arising from that.

I suspect the situation is that most customers have already paid for the service, and would demand a refund if they can't reasonably use the service.

Teams has video conferencing, but also hooks into SharePoint for shared documents.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Different in what way? Slack has built-in video conferencing?
They bought ScreenHero and tried to integrate it. They screwed it up so bad that the ScreenHero founder quit after 4 years and has gone and rewrote it and called it Screen: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22676040
While it technically doesn't matter where you run, there are a lot of choices that have a different answer depending on if you ask your vendor or if you do your own checks and research.
Scaling purely because you needed to scale up would be a different story, and then you're expect overall service demands to go up that steep. This seems more like an unpreparedness peak to me.
