Abstract
Blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionizing industries through decentralization and enhanced security. As businesses increasingly adopt blockchain solutions to boost transparency, efficiency, and trust, the selection of an appropriate cloud service provider becomes pivotal for success. This research undertakes a comprehensive comparative analysis of two major players in the cloud computing domain: Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. The primary focus is on evaluating their capabilities and offerings in supporting the intricate requirements of blockchain technology implementations. This thorough exploration delves into the key features and functionalities that AWS and Azure offer for blockchain integration. The analysis covers crucial aspects including performance, scalability, security, development tools, and overall integration capabilities. The objective is to provide a nuanced understanding of how these cloud service giants align with the unique demands of blockchain applications. Renowned for its unparalleled scalability, reliability, and extensive service suite, AWS stands out as a dominant force in the cloud computing market. With a global infrastructure ensuring low-latency access and a track record of serving enterprises worldwide, AWS proves to be a formidable choice for businesses navigating the complexities of blockchain integration. On the other end, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform, emerges as a strong competitor. Its seamless integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, encompassing Windows Server and Active Directory, positions Azure as a compelling option for organizations deeply entrenched in Microsoft technologies. The research also meticulously examines the specialized blockchain services provided by both AWS and Azure. Services such as Amazon Managed Blockchain and Amazon QLDB on AWS, and Azure Blockchain Service and Azure Blockchain Workbench on Azure, are evaluated for their efficacy in simplifying the creation, management, and governance of
AWS offers superior scalability and reliability for blockchain integration, while Microsoft Azure offers seamless integration with Microsoft technologies for organizations rooted in Microsoft technologies.
