Another day another Amazon rumor, I'll wait for a more concrete source or Amazon verification before my hopes are up.

it is not really a big deal to doubt its reality Cheesy
Amazon is not just the retailer shop thingy online, it also has a lot of servers which they are renting and making a lot of money from. many have been using these AWS servers for running their bitcoin nodes and a lot of other cryptocurrency related stuff such as ICO crap. now they are adding easier to use features for them so that they can get more customer and earn more money!

the thing we are waiting for is for Amazon to accept bitcoin payments.

Amazon Announces Its Own Blockchain Project

Amazon has announced the creation of a blockchain-based framework aimed at helping developers create products and services with ease. The AWS Blockchain Template allows you to ‘deploy Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric frameworks using managed and certified AWS CloudFormation templates’— it is essentially a means of streamlining the process of making and manipulating DApps (decentralized applications).

Amazon claims that some of the major perks of using their framework, rather than working from scratch, are that you gain access to their advanced management tools and ‘pay-as-you-go’ marketplace— meaning that they give you a step up to create a professional and error-free program. Amazon’s cloud computing capabilities also mean that producing, distributing, and maintaining DApps becomes much easier.

There are currently two different sets of Blockchain Templates: one for using Ethereum and one for using Linux and IBM’s HyperLedger Fabric. The projects created with these templates can be either public (with Ethereum) or private (with either Ethereum or HyperLedger). One of the most recent projects launched on HyperLedger is Huawei’s BaaS (blockchain as a service).

AWS has been planning to work in the blockchain sector for some time now, with work being done by them as early as 2016. You can find a guide to getting started with the AWS Blockchain Template here. There are no additional costs for using the software, but you will still have to pay for any other AWS resources that are used (such as data).
