Cloud-Based Blockchain Architecture for Multi-Tenant Resource Allocation

This research explores the integration of game theory principles into cloud-based blockchain technology to ensure secure, scalable, and efficient resource allocation in multitenant environments. By leveraging AWS services and game-theoretic frameworks, the study enhances the robustness of blockchain networks deployed on cloud infrastructure. The decentralized and distributed nature of blockchain systems necessitates strategic interactions among participants, and game theory provides a powerful analytical foundation to model these dynamics. The revised architecture utilizes AWS Blockchain Management for secure, permissioned operations, AWS CloudWatch for real-time monitoring, and EC2 instances for scalable resource provisioning. Smart contracts implemented on Hyperledger Fabric automate validation, offer evaluation, and resource allocation, while a Stackelberg-game-based algorithm optimizes interactions between fog nodes, resource providers, and tenants. This approach ensures transparency, cost-efficiency, and security while addressing emerging challenges in decentralized systems. The paper outlines the updated architecture, methodology, and benefits, presenting a robust framework for modern blockchain-based ecosystems.
