Amazon's web services company, Amazon Web Services, announced the launch of a new blockchain tool among its services: templates to simulate Ethereum and Fabric block chains.

The new Amazon product allows users to choose between simulating the creation of a public or private blockchain network similar to Ethereum or a private network mililar to Hyperledger Fabric. For this, the creator of the chain must choose between predetermined accommodation options, appointment of the chain and other details. A process of few steps and simple that could encourage the adoption of the blockchain among new users of technology.
 
According to the published information, the users of the service will have less than 20 options to create their own blockchain. First, they must choose the template they will use; templates that are currently segmented in three regions of the United States: Eastern Ethereum network (Northern Virginia), Eastern Ethereum network (Ohio) and Western Ethereum network (Oregon).

The blockchain chain to be created must then begin the process of naming and stipulating privacy parameters. A process that will be followed by the choice of the container platform of the network. Amazon web services established that the users of its templates have access to storage in EC2 and ECS; two services of your company. By meeting these requirements it is possible to create the genesis blocks of that particular network, therefore it is not a bifurcation of any blockchain.

It is important to note that both services use Amazon's private cloud (VPC), the primary difference lies in the use of clusters or local storage, that is, they use AWS resources at all times to "ensure that the (network) works Robust and scalable form ", as it reads in the company's statement. This is a feature that derives, finally, in the establishment of predetermined subnets and derives in the security configurations the Amazon Web Service network.

The configuration of this blockchain system allows the implementation of exploration tools that are used to track the Ethereum blockchain. In this case, the emulated network can interact with EthStats and EthExplorer, instruments that allow the creator to continuously visualize the frequency with which new blocks are added, the difficulty, the hashrate of the network and the addresses of the miner.

So far, not much information has been obtained about the use cases that Amazon Web Services will enhance with this new product or how the service with Fabric will work. However, it is necessary to highlight the continuous intention of innovation in services related to blockchain that the subsidiary of Amazon Web Service has had in recent months.

In fact, a couple of weeks ago they applied for a patent for a "cryptographically and immutable assured accounting book" technology, that although they did not explicitly name it with blockchain, it describes a technological innovation based on the block chain, a patent in which mentioned as a use case the modality of a cloud computing platform. Well, the company emphasizes that users of remote resources such as the cloud do not have complete control over them; fact that translates into that they do not have absolute certainty of the integrity of the transactions. An uncertainty in which the immutable blockchain technology could eliminate doubts.
