AWS re:Invent 2017: [REPEAT] Exploring Blockchain Technology, Risks, and Emerging Tr (ARC313-R)

Blockchain has become a hot topic for enterprises, start-ups, entrepreneurs, and regulatory bodies. Born from bitcoin in 2008, blockchain's promise of a distributed ledger has far greater implications than cryptocurrency. Companies are now beginning to understand its disruptive potential and are experimenting with its most promising applications. But, few companies have asked the more fundamental question: Are we ready to adopt a shared public database for financial transactions? In this session, we cover the concepts of blockchain and use cases in the enterprise. We also demonstrate blockchain in use and show how to implement it using AWS services.
