“Blockchain has the potential to enable new possibilities that were previously out of reach for many organizations. For enterprises globally, blockchain provides decentralized, secure, transparent, and immutable interactions, processes, and transactions.” Said Amazon Web Services in a statement, announcing their new Ethereum-based cloud platform Kaleido.
Amazon has been heavily interested in making blockchain technology accessible and easy-to-use for their more than 310 Million active customers. This new platform launched on May 15th, by Joseph Lubin co-founder of Ethereum and ConsenSys, during Blockchain Week 2018, is the result of the ground-braking partnership between AWS and Lubin’s company. Kaleido will enable its customers to build and manage their own cloud blockchain platforms.
“Introducing Kaleido to AWS customers is going to help customers move faster and not worry about managing blockchain themselves,”
This new platform will allow users to relay and anchor transactions from Kaleido networks directly onto public Ethereum Mainnet and access to integrated analytics. This platform supports multiple protocol options like Geth and Quorum and consensus mechanisms. Lubin said Amazon’s collaboration with Kaleido marks a turning point for Ethereum and for blockchain technology.
“This is a heavy-duty, full-stack way of getting the company into blockchain solutions,”. We have been on a mission to accelerate the adoption of Ethereum and all the benefits that decentralization can bring,” said Lubin. “We believe Kaleido will become a de-facto standard and a global blockchain platform for business.”
Steve Cerveny co-founder of ConsenSys also said that blockchain business cloud will enable customers of Amazon Web Services to launch and operate blockchain networks without spending millions of dollars writing custom code. “They don’t have to become PhDs in cryptography, we give them a simple platform to build their company on blockchain. Lubin said, full of pride, in his statement, that thousands of companies are heavily interested in the applications of blockchain technology, and ethereum networks. “Three years ago, we were getting calls from companies trying to spell blockchain and trying to order one in a color because their boss told them they should get a blockchain,” said Lubin almost-laughing. “At this point, there are tens of thousands of companies around the world that have real sophistication around this.”
