Updated to Fabric Version 2.x in July 2020

Setting up Hyperledger Fabric Infrastructure is a complex task that requires the users to understand the concepts and the tools. This course is for technologists who are looking to architect & design solutions on Hyperledger Fabric based Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

This course has already helped 1000s of students gain expertise on Fabric Network design & setup.

At the end of this course students will:

Have hands on knowledge of Hyperledger Fabric Components & Practices
Understand how to design the Hyperledger Fabric Infrastructure as per the requirements
Setup Fabric Certification Authorities & Manage identities
Be able to setup the test & production grade Fabric network infrastructure
Design Consortium setups & policies
Configure the YAML files for Fabric network initialization
Carry out Fabric network configuration updates
Be able to setup Fabric Network on
1. Native in a Virtual Machine (Locally)
2. Cloud (AWS)
3. Docker & Docker Compose
4. Minikube & Kubernetes (GCP)
Will be in a position to take the CHFA exam (Practice required)

Tools Covered:

configtxgen, cryptogen, configtxlator
orderer, peer, kafka
fabric-ca-server, fabric-ca-client
jq, docker, docker-compose, minikube kubernetes
AWS & GCP installation

Before joining the course:

Go through the preview lectures & Make sure you understand my accent :)
Be aware that this course covers advanced topics & may require you to spend time on additional readings etc
Understand the basics of Hyperledger Fabric - take a look at my course on Composer, it will help build a solid foundation
Know this course will NOT teach you how to develop chaincode - take a look at my course on "Mastering Chaincode Development with GoLang"

Pre-Requisites:

Students MUST have the conceptual knowledge of Hyperledger Fabric DLT
Students MUST be comfortable with basic Linux commands
Students MUST be comfortable with basic/simple shell scripts
Students MUST be willing to learn (Fabric related technologies) on their own

Good to have:

Basic understanding of Docker / Kubernetes
Understanding of Virtual Machines | Hypervisors
Access to any public cloud (AWS, Google ...)
Working knowledge of JSON or YAML format

Who this course is for:

Any technologist interested in Architecting Hyperledger Fabric Networks
Hyperledger developers interested in taking their knowledge to next level
Hyperledger Network Operators & Administrators
