Certified Blockchain Professional - Module 16: Blockchain as a Service
blockchain Certified Blockchain Professional MSc · 200 words
As previously discussed, I'm doing the Certified Blockchain Professional course. It is self-directed learning, so I'm going through it at my own pace. In order to consolidate my learning, and help organise my thoughts, I'm blogging about my reflections on each module.
These are mostly notes to myself - but I hope if you find something interesting (or incorrect) that you'll leave a comment.
I love how they've made up the acronym BaaS!
Apparently both IBM's Bluemix and Microsoft's Azure offer Ethereum blockchains. Electronic Government as a Service (eGaas!) might come soon.
Azure' blockchain is called Bletchly. Has "cryptlets" which are external to the chain oracles. Can be written in any language (LOL) and run in a container.
Designed to be a "click and run" service.
IBM's offering is Hyperledger Fabric.
And... that's it! No explanation of what they do, why you'd use them, or what the downsides are. A pathetic penultimate chapter.
