Smart Contract for IT

Ability for developers to launch IT workloads (applications) on a Decentralized Cloud e.g the ThreeFold Grid is using these deployment primitives secured by blockchain concepts.

Following benefits

• IT workloads can be deployed 100% deterministic, this means all specific properties of the workloads like necessary files, network bridges, processes, ... are all known at build time, this leads to good security and predictability.
• Consensus can be required for deploying a workload.
• Auditing and full transparancy on what has been deployed by who at what time.
