Google is cutting at least 100 jobs in its cloud division.
CNBC, citing an internal letter, reported on Monday that a number of jobs were being cut in sales, operations, engineering, consulting and "go to market" strategy at Google's cloud division.
A Google spokesperson said: "We will continue to grow our business to meet our customers' priority needs and capture the significant opportunities ahead." We remain committed to investing in areas critical to our business and ensuring long-term success."
The California-based tech giant laid off an unspecified number of employees in various teams in April as it squeezed costs. Google also laid off hundreds of employees in January.
Separately, Business Insider reported that Microsoft's Azure cloud computing unit will lay off hundreds of employees. The layoffs will affect teams including Azure for Operators and Mission Engineering, the report said. The report also cited people familiar with the matter as saying that Azure for Operators' layoffs involve as many as 1,500 jobs.
The move follows a wave of layoffs in the technology and media industries due to economic uncertainty.
