Microsoft has announced the expansion of its blockchain support on Azure, enabling multi-member consortium blockchain networks.



Christine Avanessians Senior Program Manager, Microsoft Azure, made the announcement in an online post. The latest development addresses the need to easily and securely create and deploy across multiple regions and support members from organizations that exist within separate administrative and trust boundaries.



“We are excited to announce expansion of our blockchain support on Azure to be the first public cloud that enables multi-member consortium blockchain networks addressing enterprise scenarios that require a deployment of a private network across Azure regions, subscriptions, and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenants”, Avanessians said.



Microsoft outlined three common topologies, namely, single organization, multiple subscriptions; multiple organizations, private; and multiple organizations, public-facing. The tech giant said that it has released a set of solution templates in the Azure Marketplace that address the first two topologies configuring multi-region and multi-member Ethereum Consortium Blockchain Networks with a simple multi-step process through the Azure Portal or cmdline.



“These solution templates are designed to make it easier and quicker to deploy and configure a multi-member consortium Ethereum network with minimal Azure and Ethereum knowledge”, Avanessians added.
