Simplifying Blockchain with the help of Cloud
summary
Explains blockchain basics, shows a live demo of block hashes changing to prove immutability, and deploys a Corum consortium member on Azure so a network is actually running; Azure shows one-click deployment, a VS Code extension for authoring smart contracts, and dashboards with pending transactions, processed transactions, and queued transactions metrics. Compares proof-of-work vs proof-of-stake, claims cloud lowers cost and adds massive scalability and security, and demonstrates that a deployed network and metrics work end to end.
