Amazon’s cloud computing division is joining forces with start-up Kaleido to make it easier for users to offer their services via blockchain. Amazon Web Services (AWS) said the deal would allow customers to move faster “and not worry about managing blockchain themselves". The new partnership will enable AWS, which has more than a billion customers, to provide its own blockchain-based service that can be used by other companies and individuals in addition to AWS itself. Joseph Lubin, the founder of the Ethereum platform, which Kaleido and AWS will use, said the deal was the biggest move yet made by Amazon into blockchain. Fellow tech giants Microsoft and Facebook are also exploring blockchain services.
