How to deploy Hyperledger Fabric applications to the cloud, for this problem, this article details the corresponding analysis and solutions, hoping to help more small partners who want to solve this problem find a simpler and easier way.

I assume you've learned how to build Hyperledger Fabric blockchain networks, and you've also learned how to create chain code in Node.js or other languages supported by Fabric, and you've learned how to develop Web applications on top of that. Otherwise, I suggest you first look at building blockchain PoC applications using Hyperledger Fabric.

However, there is a constraint that resides in your Ubuntu OS or virtual machine. Stakeholders and other target parties cannot try or use it. In this case, they don't produce value other than proving that you have such skills. Therefore, we need to find or buy some servers and deploy the network on these servers to form the blockchain network and run its applications or rent some servers from cloud service providers and deploy the Fabric blockchain on these servers. The second option would be more economical and efficient. So let's try this option.

To do this, we should take the following process:

Process A identifies cloud service providers that meet your needs. Amazon AWS is another option, Digital Ocean(DO). And register one.

Process B: Setting up nodes/servers. Select the operating system and its configuration for your Droplet (server). I recommend that Ubuntu 16.04 LTS has at least 4GB of RAM, but needs 8GB more RAM. And there are three (servers) so that we have at least 3 minimum number of nodes.

Process C: Create a user account. Log in to Digital Ocean using the Console option to log in as root and create some user accounts.

How to access your Droplet? If you're using Windows, I'm going to use a technique to make your life easier.

Flow D downloads and installs Hyperledger Fabric, and tests some sample applications

Flow E, copy your chain code and related files to the appropriate folder under Fabric installation (technology).

Process F extracts docker images for Web servers that support server-side scripting languages.

Process G creates and sets up directory structures for Web servers.

Process H, copying server-side source code to the appropriate directory under the Web server (technology).

Process I, Start REST API Server (Important Process/Service).

Process J creates a docker container for the Web server.

Procedure K, Start/Install Web Server Container (Important Procedure/Service).

OK! Now your Web application integrates chain code running on Hyerledger Fabric!

Repeat these processes for your Droplet 2 and 3 or more...

Once done, you can use docker swarm to transform these servers into blockchain networks.

Hopefully, the above has provided you with a clear roadmap for Hyperledger Fabric cloud deployment.

At the same time, for a small fee, you can get detailed information about four techniques for these important processes so that you can do them faster and easier.

About how to deploy Hyperledger Fabric applications to the cloud questions to share here, I hope the above content can be of some help to you, if you still have a lot of doubts, you can pay attention to the industry information channel to learn more about knowledge.
