Amazon launches Azure Blockchain Workbench, an application booster

The release of Azure Blockchain Workbench of the giant Microsoft was announced on Monday, May 7, 2018. The company's cloud computing platform has leaked the news. It aims to support developers who work with distributed registry technology.

A fast development tool with Blockchain

Microsoft has stated that Workbench is "the scaffolding of an end-to-end Blockchain application" easily built in a few clicks, a real platform that will allow the development of Blockchain applications in a few days . Many projects could thus germinate thanks to the help provided by the Azur platform.

As organizations see increased use of Blockchains solutions, Microsoft is attempting to take advantage of this opportunity by providing a pre-packaged infrastructure available to customers looking for a quick implementation of Blockchains solutions.

According to Matthew Kerner's blog, the general manager of Microsoft Azure:

Today, we are excited to announce the official release of Azure Blockchain Workbench, a new offering that can shorten app development time by a few months in a matter of days.

"Workbench allows customers to benefit from intangible speed by automating the configuration of the infrastructure, so that developers can focus on the business logic and that business leaders can channel themselves on the definition and validation of their use cases, " he added.

A growing adoption of the Blockchain

The computer giant remains optimistic about the Blockchain and crypto-currencies, despite the many criticisms - including those of the great investor Bill Gates.

Several companies like the bank Hapoalim of Israels, Nestle and Apttus participated in the test phase of Azure Blockchain Workbench.

Microsoft's support for the Blockchain took shape through its Identity division in February. The company has plugged out-of-the-box upgrade solutions for Bitcoin. At that time, the Lightning Network recorded a significant increase in the number of users.

However, it seems clear that the Azure platform would be the most promising Microsoft project, based on the underlying crypto-currency technology Blockchain.

Partnerships that leverage the technology giant's blockchain include Hyperledger, R3, Cornell's Blockchain Research Group, and many others. The list is growing.
