AWS Blockchain Templates provide a fast and easy way to create and deploy secure blockchain networks using popular open source frameworks. These templates enable you to focus on building your blockchain applications instead of spending time and energy on manual setup of your blockchain network. AWS Blockchain Templates deploy the blockchain framework you choose as containers on an Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) cluster, or directly on an EC2 instance running Docker. Your blockchain network is created in your own Amazon VPC, allowing you to use your VPC subnets and network Access Control Lists. You can assign granular permissions using AWS IAM to restrict which resources an Amazon ECS cluster or Amazon EC2 instance can access. There is no additional charge for AWS Blockchain Templates. You pay only for the resources required to run your blockchain network. Benefits FAST DEPLOYMENT Get started with blockchain in minutes. Quickly deploy your blockchain network on Amazon ECS or Amazon EC2 instances, and focus on building your applications. CHOICE Choose from two of the most popular frameworks, Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric. Each framework offers distributed consensus algorithms, smart contract functionality, and access control features.
