Leading cloud services platform AWS (Amazon Web Services) introduced Blockchain templates for Ethereum & Hyperledger fabric. This is really going to help the Blockchain related development and boost up the developers. AWS define these templates as :
AWS Blockchain Templates help you quickly create and deploy blockchain networks on AWS using different blockchain frameworks. You use AWS Blockchain Templates to configure and launch AWS CloudFormation stacks to create blockchain networks.
As most of the current development involves Ethereum & Hyperledger fabric, they have provided support for both of them.
Ethereum
Ethereum opened various opportunities for development by introducing a Turing-complete language solidity for Smart Contracts development. Ethereum template configuration provides you multiple choices:
Various options for template creation are there. Quite flexibility has been provided in terms of setup.
Hyperledger Fabric
Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. Hyperledger Fabric is a platform for distributed ledger solutions, underpinned by a modular architecture delivering high degrees of confidentiality, resiliency, flexibility and scalability. This doesn’t involve any native cryptocurrency. There are certain use cases that are being implemented using Hyperledger Fabric like healthcare, supply chain management etc.
The AWS Blockchain Template for Hyperledger Fabric creates an EC2 instance with Docker and launches a Hyperledger Fabric network using containers on that instance. The network includes one order service and three organizations, each with one peer service.
We, at SecureBlocks, are eager to use these templates in our solutions. I hope this will take the development to a new level. You can go through the complete documentation here.
Thanks for reading.
