Does it make sense to deploy HF network on a CENTRALIZED Cluster?

Open hoangedward opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Decentralized is the MAIN characteristic Hyperledger Fabric or any Blockchain network. Why you determined to host a network on a single k8s Cluster? The cluster owner can do everything on that network, right? Who will trust such kind of network? : )

Well, this depends on the use case.

In our real-life case, for a quick start for other parties, initially we will provide the system as a managed service: we will run the blockchain nodes and other application components on behalf of them.

For development, it's quite handy to run and manage the whole Fabric network in the same K8S cluster.

Also, last but not the least, as mentioned in our FAQ page, our Helm charts can be used for running some part of the Fabric network with small changes.

Good news is, we are at the moment working on a PoC of hybrid networks, cross-cluster, some on-prem or whatever. We will very soon publish it :)
