Announcing Support for Multi-member Consortium Blockchain Networks on Azure
We are excited to announce expansion of our blockchain support on Azure to be the first public cloud that enables multi-member consortium blockchain networks addressing enterprise scenarios that require a deployment of a private network across Azure regions, subscriptions, and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenants! For more details, check out the https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/multi-member-consortium-blockchain-networks-on-azure/ that came out today.
Need IP range for RPC end point Ethereum Consortium Network
Hi, I am trying to explore the Ethereum Consortium Network to try out few sample contracts. I had followed the instructions given in the site https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/ethereum-consortium-blockchain-network and created a resource group. It returned an RPC end point http://ethtesf2h.southindia.cloudapp.azure.com:8545 My firewall is blocking the this particular URL and hence I am not able to connect to the network. Can you let me know the IP ranges that I need to whitelist? I found a list of public IPs (https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=41653) which microsoft azure uses but my RPC end point returned me an IP 52.172.10.254, which was not in the list given. Also they had also mentioned that the public IPs ranges change ever week. So does it mean that I will have to update the IP ranges every week for whitelisting?Improved governance experience with Ethereum Proof-of-Authority 1.2
Since launching Ethereum Proof-of-Authority we've received great feedback and have learned more about the ways our customers have leveraged this solution to roll out their Blockchain applications. We’ve rolled out a number of features that improve user-experience, configuration, and deployment reliability. Read about it in the Azure blog.
