A new way of charging 10x as much for a transactional database.

 Blockchain

"Blockchain is a technology for a new generation of

transactional applications that establishes trust, accountability
and transparency while streamlining business processes."

Or...

"Blockchain is a distributed, cryptographically secure ledger of

transactions."

@grkvlt
 Blockchain

"A blockchain is a fully-distributed, peer-to-peer software

network which makes use of cryptography to securely host
applications, store data, and easily transfer digital instruments
of value that represent real-world money. "

 Hyperledger Application Fabric

The Hyperledger Application Fabric is a group of Clusters of

Docker Engines spread across different regions, giving a global
deployment that can be easily scaled and extended.

Hyperledger components are Docker containers providing

Blockchain services.

@grkvlt
 Hyperledger and Kubernetes

With the current popularity of Kubernetes as a container platform, it

would be very useful to be able to deploy Hyperledger there.
Kubernetes Pods are the unit of deployment for containers, and are
defined as YAML resource files.

The Cloudsoft AMP Container Service allows deployment of these

Kubernetes resources, and we are in the process of developing Pods
for the Hyperledger components. This feature will be part of the next
release of the Cloudsoft HLF in AMP 5.0.

 Hyperledger Sample Application

We can demonstrate an asset management Chaincode

application that spins up a Non-Validating Peer in a Docker
container, deploys the Chaincode onto the Validating Peer
Cluster and then performs the following Transactions:

1. Assigns an asset to Alice

2. Transfers to Bob and verifies ownership
3. Transfers to Charlie and verifies ownership
4. Transfers to Dave and verifies ownership
