Case Study: Kubernetes achieves simplified blockchain deployment with LF Decentralized Trust's Hyperledger Sawtooth and Sextant

When Hyperledger Sawtooth Met Kubernetes - Simplifying Enterprise Blockchain Adoption

kubernetes, an open source system for container orchestration, was paired with the vendor LF Decentralized Trust's product, Hyperledger Sawtooth. The general challenge was to simplify the development, deployment, and long-term maintenance of enterprise blockchain networks, moving them from proof-of-concept to robust, production-ready systems.

The vendor, LF Decentralized Trust, created a solution called Sextant, a management platform that integrates Hyperledger Sawtooth with Kubernetes. This provided a simplified, one-click deployment for enterprise blockchain applications. The key result was the successful launch of the Sextant platform on the AWS marketplace, with plans to expand to other major cloud providers and the upcoming integration of the DAML smart contract language to further enhance developer capabilities.
