Hyperledger Cello is a blockchain module toolkit and another Hyperledger Project hosted by The Linux Foundation. The aim of Hyperledger Cello is to join the on demand “as a service” deployment model to the blockchain ecosystem. This is to reduce the amount of effort required to create, manage and terminate blockchains. This is done through a multi-tenant chain service which rests on top of assorted infrastructures such as container platforms and bare metal virtual machine.
There are a number of features which distinguish Hyperledger Cello from other projects:
It can manage the life cycle of blockchains, ie create, begin, pause, delete, track health automatically.
Supports customized blockchain requests, rather than only Hyperledger Fabric.
Supports heterogeneous architecture, such as POWER and Z, X86 ranging from bare metal servers to virtual machine clouds.
Supports bare metal virtual machine, swarm or Kubernetes and native Docker host as its worker nodes.
Extends thorough monitoring, health and analytics and log features by implementing additional components.
With these features, developers working with blockchain applications can:
Build a blockchain as a Service (BaaS) platform quickly, even from scratch.
Maintain a pool of blockchain networks that run on top of bare metals, virtual clouds, and container clusters.
Utilize customizable blockchains instantaneously.
Monitor the system’s status, adjust chain numbers, and scale resources all via dashboards.
The various Hyperledger Project efforts have each made using blockchain technology easier to leverage, and with Cello, they continue to push functionality forward while also expanding its technical specifications for an expanding user base of developers and businesses.
