AWS Blockchain Templates Overview

Introduction

AWS Blockchain Templates are a set of pre-configured solutions that simplify the process of creating and deploying blockchain networks on AWS. These templates automate the setup of the underlying infrastructure and provide built-in tools for managing the blockchain networks.

Key Points

• AWS supports popular blockchain frameworks like Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum.
• Templates provide automated provisioning of the underlying infrastructure.
• Integrated monitoring and management tools for easy network maintenance.
• Scalability options to support varying workloads and use cases.
