Get to know Blockchain as a Service
The IBM Blockchain Platform is a cloud-based platform which provides tools for you to easily develop, operate, and grow your permissioned enterprise blockchain applications. This training will provide an overview of the platform features and capabilities so you can quickly get up to speed. The training also provides use cases with demos and optional labs that focused on business network setup and chaincode deployments with Composer.. Demos will go thru setting up a Hyperledger Fabric business network and then focus on deploying blockchain applications running on a Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) and will additionally cover Smart Contracts, developing applications, Hyperledger Composer, IBM Blockchain development considerations and best practices, how to architect your business network and finally consensus, peers, MSP, nodes and deployment considerations. A review of Hyperledger Fabric, which is the open source framework for developing IBM blockchain applications and solutions with a modular architecture will be covered as well.
