Alibaba Cloud BaaS provides a quick mode to create and deploy secure Enterprise Ethereum - Quorum networks. You only need to specify required information, and Alibaba Cloud BaaS will automatically perform operations to create a complete Quorum network.
Note: After you are getting more familiar with Quorum technology, you can customize and extend your blockchain network by inviting new members. These new members can deploy their Quorum nodes on cloud platforms (like AWS, Azure, etc.) or in on-premise environment. Alibaba Cloud BaaS can help you build up a cross-cloud, cross-region consortium blockchain network easily.
