The Hyperledger Bevel Fabric Operator is a Kubernetes operator for managing the full lifecycle of Hyperledger Fabric networks. It provides custom resource definitions (CRDs) and controllers for Certificate Authorities (CAs), peers, ordering service nodes, chaincode (install, approve, commit), channels (main and follower), identities, network configurations, and an operator UI/API. The system also includes a kubectl plugin for CLI-based management. It supports multiple ingress controllers (Istio, Traefik, Gateway API), credential stores (Kubernetes Secrets, HashiCorp Vault), and database backends for the built-in Fabric CA. The operator vendors and patches upstream Hyperledger Fabric and Fabric CA libraries for cryptographic operations, MSP configuration, policy building, and channel configuration. The codebase is well-structured with generated client code, consistent controller patterns (finalizers, status conditions), and comprehensive integration tests. It is actively maintained under the Hyperledger Bevel project, with a large community and regular releases.
