## Getting started
# Tutorial
Resources:
- [Hyperledger Fabric build ARM](https://www.polarsparc.com/xhtml/Hyperledger-ARM-Build.html)
## Create Kubernetes Cluster
To start deploying our red fabric we have to have a Kubernetes cluster. For this we will use KinD.
Ensure you have these ports available before creating the cluster:
- 80
- 443
If these ports are not available this tutorial will not work.
### Using K3D
```bash
k3d cluster create -p "80:30949@agent:0" -p "443:30950@agent:0" --agents 2 k8s-hlf
```
### Using KinD
```bash
cat << EOF > kind-config.yaml
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
image: kindest/node:v1.30.2
extraPortMappings:
- containerPort: 30949
hostPort: 80
- containerPort: 30950
hostPort: 443
EOF
kind create cluster --config=./kind-config.yaml
```
## Install Kubernetes operator
In this step we are going to install the kubernetes operator for Fabric, this will install:
- CRD (Custom Resource Definitions) to deploy Certification Fabric Peers, Orderers and Authorities
- Deploy the program to deploy the nodes in Kubernetes
To install helm: [https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
```bash
helm repo add kfs https://kfsoftware.github.io/hlf-helm-charts --force-update
helm install hlf-operator --version=1.11.1 -- kfs/hlf-operator
```
### Install the Kubectl plugin
To install the kubectl plugin, you must first install Krew:
[https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/install/](https://krew.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user-guide/setup/install/)
Afterwards, the plugin can be installed with the following command:
```bash
kubectl krew install hlf
```
### Install Istio
Install Istio binaries on the machine:
```bash
curl -L https://istio.io/downloadIstio | ISTIO_VERSION=1.23.3 sh -
```
Install Istio on the Kubernetes cluster:
```bash
kubectl create namespace istio-system
export ISTIO_PATH=$(echo $PWD/istio-*/bin)
export PATH="$PATH:$ISTIO_PATH"
istioctl operator init
kubectl apply -f - < "metadata.json"
{
"type": "ccaas",
"label": "${CHAINCODE_LABEL}"
}
METADATA-EOF
## chaincode as a service
```
### Prepare connection file
```bash
cat > "connection.json" <
