Hyperledger Testbed on Kubernetes Cluster: Automated Deployment of a Distributed Enterprise Blockchain Network for Analysis and Testing

This repository contains scripts we are developing to deploy a Hyperledger Testbed on a Kubernetes cluster, itself running on cloud resources. For the latter, we assume, resources provisioned via an OpenStack environment.

HyperLedgerLab 2.0 has been developed and will soon be made available publicly.
