Talk 1: Building a Fabric Consortium for Workday Credentials
Operating and growing a Hyperledger Fabric is complex. Even if the infrastructure is managed independently (with Amazon Managed Blockchain), the members of the network still need to manage channel membership, configuration, and the chaincode lifecycle.
In this talk Kasey Alusi from Workday will give an overview of the new Workday Credentials platform, why Workday Credentials is using blockchain, how to grow a Fabric network, and the toolset Workday is building to streamline the process of growing and operating a Fabric network.
