Amazon Embraces Distributed Ledger Through R3, Shuns Other Blockchain Solutions

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a partnership with R3 to allow the company’s Corda platform to become one of the first ever distributed ledger technology solutions on the AWS. Corda allows users to deploy DApps onto the AWS platform and to create new apps directly.

The relative victory for R3 comes on the heels of a difficult year as the company has been embroiled in a heated legal battle with Ripple over an unfulfilled token purchase agreement that would net R3 a $1 bln profit.
