Extra dev peers in hyperledger fabric


I am following the two org hyperledger fabric example. After starting the network I can see 4 extra dev peers running along with 4 peers(2 peers per org) in docker containers. But in configuration I gave only 4 peers. I am not understanding how the other 4 dev peers got created and whats their purpose.


Solution

  • A specific 'Chain Code Container' gets created for each peer running the Business Network. E.g. dev-peer0.org1.example.com-tutorial-network-0.16.3.... These containers are started and restarted automatically.
