Kubernetes Hyperledger

This repository contains Cloudsoft AMP blueprints for a Hyperledger Fabric v0.6.1 cluster deployment onto Kubernetes.

Deployment Instructions

Step 1: Install Cloudsoft AMP

Use this guide to install AMP on your OS using the "DIY" option (downloading a tar.gz archive).

Step 2: Deploy a Kubernetes Cluster

NOTE: You can skip this step if you already have a Kubernetes cluster running.

2.1 Create a Deployment Location

In order to deploy a Kubernetes cluster with AMP, you must first configure a location to which AMP will deploy it.

Use this guide to learn more about AMP locations and how to create your own.

NOTE: Your location must support CentOS 7.

2.2 Deploy a Kubernetes Cluster to Your Location

Cloudsoft AMP comes bundled with the Cloudsoft Container Service (CCS) which supports the deployment of Kubernetes clusters.

Use this guide to deploy your own Kubernetes Cluster using AMP and CCS.

NOTE: kubernetes.initial.size must be set to 6 or larger.

Step 3: Deploy Hyperledger Fabric onto Your Kubernetes

3.1 Add Hyperledger Fabric to the AMP Catalog

Download the latest release JAR from this repository and place it in the deploy directory inside the expanded AMP directory.

Then from the AMP UI home screen, perform the following steps:

• Click the square button in the top right corner
• Click "Blueprint importer"
• Copy and paste the Hyperledger catalog file into the editor
• Click "Import" (button in bottom right corner)

3.2 Deploy Hyperledger Fabric

From the AMP UI home screen, perform the following steps:

• Click "Blueprint composer" (tile in top row, second from the right)
• Click "YAML Editor" (button in top right corner)
• Copy and paste the example YAML file into the editor
• Change the value of endpoint to the URL / port of your Kubernetes cluster
• Change the values of identity and credential if they differ from the example
• Click "Deploy" (button in bottom right corner)

NOTE: The example file contains the default identity and credential values for Kubernetes clusters deployed with AMP.

In just a matter of moments you will have a Hyperledger Fabric cluster deployed onto your Kubernetes cluster.
