Amazon Managed Blockchain (AMB) Access provides public blockchain nodes for Ethereum and Bitcoin, along with the capability to create private blockchain networks using the Hyperledger Fabric framework. This service offers multiple interaction methods with public blockchains, including:
- Fully managed public blockchain nodes
- Single-tenant (dedicated) infrastructure
- Serverless multi-tenant API operations
For use cases requiring strict access control, AMB offers fully managed private blockchain networks. The standardized API operations enable instant scalability on managed elastic infrastructure, allowing seamless blockchain application development.
Two Types of Blockchain Infrastructure Services
1. Multi-Tenant Blockchain Network Access
This API-driven solution (like AMB Access Bitcoin) shares underlying Bitcoin node infrastructure among customers through an API layer.
2. Dedicated Blockchain Nodes & Networks
Provides exclusive resources including:
- Public Ethereum blockchain nodes
- Private Hyperledger Fabric networks
Bitcoin Network Fundamentals
Bitcoin is a decentralized blockchain network enabling peer-to-peer value transfers using its native cryptocurrency (BTC). Key characteristics:
✔️ Secure medium of exchange
✔️ Investment commodity
✔️ Immutable public ledger
✔️ Used by individuals, institutions, and governments
