2019 Q3 Hyperledger Cello

Created by Baohua Yang, last modified on Nov 08, 2019

Project Health

Project health is largely the same as in previous update. The community is making  changes to make Cello more of a production ready tool. Features and capabilities are now more based on common use cases and behaviors of the Blockchain applications. Weekly meetings often see 10+ participates and often run about 60 minutes due to discussions and questions.

Issues

There are no major issues at this time. There is increasing requirement for the new features of the planed v1.0.0 release.

Releases

  • v0.9.0: Support v1.1/v1.2 fabric in k8s agent, Add v1.3 capabilities to ansible agent.
  • v1.0.0: Most of the changes to the project are towards this release. We like to be very cautious and prudent on this release and will not rush it out.

Overall Activity in the Past Quarter

  • Ansible agent continued with many features additions:
  • Continue working on Interop artifacts generation, join request, orderering system endpoints and certificates integration
  • Added agent creation function on user dashboard
  • Adding Fabric K8S operators with the Intership
  • Talk with Justitia proposal submmitter to bring the proposed functions/idea into cello and/or basically merge its work into Cello
  • Keep working on the new governing model and relevant APIs.
  • Based new and future cello work on fabric 1.4.2 (community decision)
  • Designed and implemented the new dashboard for the new APIs.
  • Updated the document for the new architecture.
  • Bug fixes.

Comments:

Please look into CII ahead of your release. Also please review the draft release requirements (which include CII). They are only in draft form now, but your project would only benefit from adopting as many as possible.
