Design and Setup Hyperledger Fabric Infrastructure from scratch:

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).

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

- Understanding of Virtual Machines | Hyper

- Access to cloud

- Working knowledge of JSON or YAML format

What would you learn?

At the end of this course students will:

1. Have hands on knowledge of Hyperledger Fabric Components/Architecture

2. Understand how to design the Hyperledger Fabric Infrastructure as per the requirements

3. Be able to setup the test & production grade infrastructure

4. Design Consortium setups & policies

5. Configure the YAML files for Fabric network initialization

6. Carry out Fabric network configuration updates

7. Setup Fabric CA & manage identities

8. Fabric setup on cloud (AWS
