Google Cloud has revealed that it will offer distributed ledger solutions to customers in partnership with Digital Asset and BlockApps. While the specific services remain unclear, the development mirrors the recent AWS-Kaleido partnership and may indicate increasing demand from enterprise clients to incorporate blockchain into their technology stack.
Google wrote in a blog post that its Cloud customers can “now explore ways they might use distributed ledger technology (DLT) frameworks” by using Digital Asset and BlockApps. It’s not clear exactly how that will work for customers and whether they will be getting access to proprietary software, but more details will be unveiled this week during the Google Next ‘18 event. The company added that it would introduce open-source integrations for apps built with the blockchain-based platforms Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum later this year in the Google Cloud Product marketplace.
