At this time, we <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/announcing-support-for-additional-blockchain-protocols-on-azure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced support<\/a> for this popular offering through the Azure Marketplace. Over the early part of this year we added support for <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/Download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visual Studio Code<\/a> (VS Code) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/docs\/languages\/go\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Go extension for VS Code<\/a>, which enabled users to both deploy a HLF network and write chain code in Go on Windows, Mac, and Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are happy to share a series of new enhancements for developers building solutions using Hyperledger Fabric on Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"updated-template-for-hyperledger-fabric-1-3\">Updated template for Hyperledger Fabric 1.3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, we\u2019re sharing an updated template for Hyperledger Fabric that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/hlf-template\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download from the Azure Marketplace<\/a>. This version includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Hyperledger Fabric version 1.3 support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Unified template to allow both single VM (multi container) development and multi VM (scale out) models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">The ability to connect multi-subscriptions via a private connection, automated by the template<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Orderers run by using a full, highly available Kafka backend for production quality deployments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Peers run using either LevelDB or CouchDB for persistence and to enable analytics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Completed documentation for the architecture can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/hlf-docs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GitHub<\/a>. This is the initial release of the unified template. Future roadmap items include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Network joining automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Hyperledger Explorer integration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On behalf of the team, thank you for choosing Azure.
