Amazon Web Services recently announced the preview of what they call Quantum Ledger Database. QLDB is a centrally administered, immutable data ledger, within AWS. QLDB is optimal for use cases when there is a trusted authority recognized by all participants and centralization is not an issue.

QLDB does not benefit from decentralization and independent copies of the ledger that come with permissioned blockchain technology – features that further promote data security and integrity.
