"The" Blockchain
Assuming that you're referring to the Azure BlockChain Workbench, then Ethereum (configured as Proof of Authority) is currently the only option at present, although the option to use a flavour of HyperLedger and Corda are apparantly in the works (on the Future Integration bit of the architecture diagram) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/blockchain-workbench/blockchain-workbench-architecture
The point of ABW I guess is to abstract away the specifics of the various private chain technologies, which will hopefully ease future migration, upgrades, and perhaps even switching between ledgers, as the industry matures over time.
OK this is good to know, Stuart. Thank you for that information and context.
I guess the tricky part here is that we're having to code in solidity rather than .NET/C#, which is what is throwing me off about being "abstracted." If it were truly abstracted we would be using all MSFT technologies to interface with whatever was powering underneath.
IMO. 😊
