微软正在重塑其云计算业务Azure的领导层，并合并部分业务单元，《信息》周一报道称。
Microsoft is reshaping the leadership of Azure, its cloud computing business, and merging some of its units, The Information reported on Monday.
据报道，微软云与AI集团负责人斯科特·古斯里当天向员工说明了这些变动。
Scott Guthrie, who runs Microsoft’s cloud and AI group, told staff about the changes that day, according to the report.
作为此次调整的一部分，原负责Azure数据库业务的阿伦·乌拉格职责范围将被扩大，《信息》报道称。其他报道称他还将负责Azure核心业务及其工程团队。目前尚不清楚此次变动将影响多少团队或员工，以及何时生效。
As part of the shake-up, Arun Ulag, who was in charge of Azure’s databases, is getting a wider brief, The Information reported. Other reports said he will also head the core Azure business and its engineering teams. It is also not yet clear how many teams or staff the changes affect, or when they take effect.
此次变动发生在Azure业务繁忙时期。就在同一天的周一，古斯里在微软博客文章中表示，公司将扩展其Maia AI芯片系统。
The changes come at a busy time for Azure. On the same Monday, Guthrie said in a Microsoft blog post that the company would expand its Maia AI chip systems.
微软还表示，其芯片将从2027年起成为运行其AI服务（包括Copilot）的主要平台。
Microsoft also said its chips would become the primary platform for running its AI services, including Copilot, starting in 2027.
微软在发布Maia 300——其第三代自研AI芯片时阐述了这一计划，该芯片的部署规模将从明年起以吉瓦特为单位衡量。
Microsoft set out that plan as it unveiled the Maia 300, the third generation of its own AI chip, with deployments measured in gigawatts starting next year.
9月，微软还调整了其财报披露方式，将业务板块从三个合并为两个：代理与基础设施以及设备与消费者，并首次为Azure单独列出财务数据。云业务在2024年6月季度实现收入294亿美元，年增42%。
In September, Microsoft also changed how it reports its results. It cut its business segments from three to two, Agents and Infra and Devices and Consumer, and, for the first time, began giving a separate figure for Azure. The cloud business brought in $29.4 billion in the June quarter, up 42% year over year.
Azure的领导层早在今年也曾发生变动。4月，曾领导微软Azure AI平台的埃里克·博伊德离职，前往Anthropic担任基础设施负责人，该公司是Claude AI模型的开发方，DCD当时曾有报道。
Azure’s leadership has changed before this year, too. In April, Eric Boyd, who led Microsoft’s Azure AI platform, left to become head of infrastructure at Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI models, DCD reported at the time.
微软计划在下月于旧金山举行的Ignite大会上进一步披露Maia 300的相关信息。
Microsoft plans to share more about the Maia 300 at its Ignite conference in San Francisco next month.
