microsoft_baas
Microsoft BaaS is available for all users of the Azure testing environment. Microsoft, in fact, started to test the blockchain back in 2014 and now it is developing its Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS).
Created to allow developers to easily create environments thanks to Azure, DevTest Labs wants to allow companies to limit expenses made for developing their own applications.
Also, the project provides editable templates, so developers don’t have to design new environments; BaaS will also provide artifacts with the objective of telling apps what actions to take after developed.
The project supports more than 20 blockchains, including MultiChain, Eris, Storj and Augur; and it aims at improving developers work for creating and testing distributed ledger with less money.
Microsoft’s Marley Gray commented:
“With the Azure DevTest Labs integration, Microsoft has made it even easier for developers to get blockchain lab environments up-and-running.”
Also, by using the Azure DevTest Labs, developers can doing experiments with private, permissioned, public or consortium blockchains, as Microsoft wants to include every single blockchain to its platform.

Microsoft Opens to Bitcoin

Since the end of 2014 Microsoft Corporation has started to test the blockchain technology.

In fact, Microsoft wants to create its own blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) product and since they have opened their Azure cloud computing platform, the American company has added a growing number of partners to its BaaS solution including ConsenSys, Emercoin and MultiChain.
With Azure and BaaS people will be able to use different technologies (from smart contracts to blockchain-based tax reporting services) in a safer and easier way than in the past.
We can’t wait to see the finished product and Marley Gray, Microsoft‘s director of technology strategy, promises that this “certified blockchain marketplace” will be ready within this spring.
The Importance of the Blockchain
Although blockchain is revolutioning the whole payments system, the real revolution are the bitcoins behind it.
The Blockchain is a secure ledger that records and stores every transaction in the network. Thanks to that there is no need for “trusted” third parties such as banks and this is why the Blockchain is a great game changer.
Its implications extend not only to bitcoin transactions, but it can be useful in various fields: from real estate to copyrights, from music to cinema, etc. In fact nowadays there is an increasing number of new startups that are working on innovative projects based on the blockchain with multipurpose uses and aims.
And one thing is certain: if anything was not invented yet, it is just temporary, because the blockchain allows all kinds of experimentation.
