Move quickly with Azure Blockchain as a Service

By Sander Gerz

Elevator Pitch

So you have heard about Blockchain, and have an idea of what it is. When you have a use case, what type of investment would it take? In this talk, you will learn about the impact of blockchain development and how to get started quickly with Azure Blockchain as a Service.

Description

So you have heard about Blockchain, and have an idea of what it is, but how would you actually use it in real life? And when you finally have a business case, what type of investment would it take? In this talk, you will learn about the impact of blockchain development in your business and show a couple of relevant use cases. When you have a case for blockchain, you want to try it out first and see if all the assumptions are correct. You will probably want to start without committing to large investments in hardware and software. The easiest way to start using blockchains in your own environment is by setting one up in Azure.

There are several templates to start with your blockchain infrastructure. Obviously, you can use the the public Ethereum network, but in many enterprise scenarios, you will want to configure Ethereum to build out and deploy your own consortium network. In this talk, you will learn how to deploy and configure a multi-node Ethereum consortium network using ARM templates.
