Kubernetes Test Network
Starting in release 2.0, Hyperledger introduced the test-network 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
scripts, provide a supplement to the Fabric CA Deployment Guide,
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 Chaincode-as-a-Service running in a shared Kubernetes namespace.
