blockchain technology, cloud computing, decentralized databaseAbstract
With the rapid development of cloud computing technology, more and more industries are starting to utilize data to make meaningful business decisions. Digital innovation has profoundly enhanced business performance. As a result, a more powerful data solution is required to enhance the data management process. Blockchain technology is one of the cutting-edge technologies that has recently been deployed in the cloud computing industry. There are difficulties in implementing blockchain technology that need to be understood by both cloud providers and cloud users.
