# Kubernetes Test Network
|
|
|
|
Starting in release 2.0, Hyperledger introduced the [test-network](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/test_network.html)
|
|
to serve as both an accelerator and learning resource for running Fabric networks. In addition to
|
|
providing a study guide for operational patterns, the test-network provided a baseline environment for members of
|
|
the Fabric community to quickly get up to speed with a working, local system, author smart contracts, and develop
|
|
simple blockchain applications.
|
|
|
|
As a supplement to the docker-compose based test-network, this guide presents an equivalent Fabric network
|
|
suitable for running sample applications and chaincode, developing Gateway and Chaincode-as-a-Service applications,
|
|
and harmonizing CI and deployment flows with a unified container framework - Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
Similar to Fabric, Kubernetes introduces a steep learning curve and presents a dizzying array of operational
|
|
flexibility. In this guide, we'll outline the design considerations in the [`./network`](../network)
|
|
scripts, provide a supplement to the [Fabric CA Deployment Guide](https://hyperledger-fabric-ca.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deployguide/ca-deploy.html),
|
|
and build up to a reference model for realistic production deployments on Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
_Ahoy!_
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Network Topology
|
|
|
|
The Kube test network establishes as consortium among a dedicated ordering organization and two peer organizations.
|
|
Participation in the network is managed over a channel, and transactions are committed to the blockchain ledgers by
|
|
invoking the [asset-transfer-basic](https://github.com/hyperledgendary/fabric-ccaas-asset-transfer-basic)
|
|
_Chaincode-as-a-Service_ running in a shared Kubernetes namespace.
