Microsoft Azure Blockchain Framework

-


INTRODUCTION


Blockchain is the stong trend hashtag, it is a revolutionary technology and all big companies are developing own technologies.

After IBM, with bluemix, now is the moment of Microsoft Azure Blockchain Workbench!

IT IS A FRAMEWORK


According to the chapter title, Azure Blockchain Workbench is a framework to develop a private Distributed Ledger. It help you to develop a blockchain application using it together other Azure components.

Naturally, Azure Blockchain Workbench, can be deployed using an specific template in the Azure Marketplace. The template include some functionalities like

  • blockchain stack
  • type of client application
  • support for IoT integration


Blockchain Workbench Architecture

A most important point value is the identity integration using Azure Active Directory. So the structure trasform the features into a permissioned blockchain

There are other core features:
  • Client applications
  • Gateway service API
  • Message broker for incoming message
  • Message broker for downstream consumers
  • Message consumers
  • Transaction builder and signers
  • Transaction routers and ledgers
  • DLT watcher
  • Azure SQL database
  • Azure Storage
  • Monitoring tool

Reading the official architecture documentation, the framework looks complete and the blockchain is only (little) part of a more complete picture.


NEXT COMPANIES


We are waiting the next big company project. I have 2 items into my WatchList: Cisco and AWS.

Who will come first?

INTRODUCTION Hadoop is an open-source sofware utilities that uses a computer cluster to solve problems involving massive amounts of data (BigData) The Apache Hadoop framework is composed by follow modules: Common HDFS YARN MapReduce All this modules are included into single docker image (only for accademic use) created by sequenceiq INSTRUCTION Requirements: Docker CE Follow steps will help you to create a single node cluster into your computer !!! First pull the image from official repo docker pull sequenceiq/hadoop-docker:2.7.1 Now you can create a docker container named hadoop-local docker run --name hadoop-local -d -t -i  \     -p 50010:50010  -p  50020:50020  -p  50070:50070  -p  50075:50075  -p  50090:50090 \     -p  8020:8020  -p  9000:9000  -p  19888:19888  -p  8030:8030  -p  8031:8031 \      -p  8032:8032  ...

INTRODUCTION Apache Spark is an opensource tool for data analysis and transformation. It uses RDD (resilient distributed dataset) a read only dataset distributed over a cluster of machine that is mantained is a fault tolerant way. It obtain high performance for batch and streaming data. It uses: DAG scheduler Query Optimizer A Physical Execution Engine. DOCKER-SPARK Docker is a tool to create an isolated system into a host computer I use docker every day to create and simulate more scenario. Today i will explain how to create a master and worker apache spark node. docker-compose is a tool to create an environment consist of a set of container docker-spark is  big-data-europe 's github repository. We can create an environment using docker-compose.yaml file: version: "3.3" services:   spark-master:     image: bde2020/spark-master:2.4.0-hadoop2.7     container_name: spark-master    ...

IPFS - InterPlanetary File System

IPFS - InterPlanetary File System  mira a semplificare la diffusione e l'utilizzo di una rete decentralizzata e sicura al fine di condividere / memorizzare file e documenti. Usando IPFS i file vengono distribuiti in più nodi in maniera sicura così da dimenticare i fastidiosi e dispendiosi backup. Inizialmente concepito da Juan Benet, IPFS è oggi un progetto opensource, sviluppato con l'aiuto della comunità ed è quindi sottratto al controllo diretto da parte di qualsiasi azienda. Questo naturalmente non ne implica l'utilizzo anzi iniziano a nascere servizi basati su IPFS come quello di Cloudfare ( vedi link )   , nota società statunitense che offre anche servizi CDN ( content delivery network ). IPFS però è molto di più che un file sharing infatti è possibile condividere informazioni e creare siti web statici sfuggendo alla censura praticata da governi, società e altre organizzazioni. Inoltre, i contenuti pubblicati non possono essere rimoss...
