Network Concepts
Explore the foundational network concepts behind Hyperledger Fabric and master how to deploy a basic blockchain network using Docker containers. Understand the key components like peers, orderers, and certificate authorities, plus how cryptographic materials support network security. This lesson prepares you for building and managing distributed blockchain networks.
We'll cover the following...
Hyperledger Fabric forms a distributed network and in order to run on a single machine, we use docker containers to run individual distributed components. Each component runs in a separate container instance and connects to other containers to form a network.
Understanding Docker #
A Docker container image is a lightweight, standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries and settings. Understanding docker and docker-compose is crucial to understanding the dev environment we will use in this course.
