The system creates a first partition within the cloud computing environment for a first entity and a second partition within the cloud computing environment for a second entity. A blockchain ledger can be created for a set of interactions between the first entity and the second entity, where the blockchain ledger is disengaged when the first entity and the second entity are not interacting. The system can receive a request from the first entity for an interaction with the second entity and can activate the blockchain ledger. In response to receiving consensus from a blockchain community within the cloud computing environment, the system can allow the interaction, where the interaction is appended to the blockchain ledger. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of documenting and verifying interactions in a cloud computing environment, the method comprising: creating a first partition of computing resources within the cloud computing environment for a first entity based on a first profile of the first entity, wherein the first profile is created using first data collected by a 5G network;
