Hyperledger Fabric is now generally available on Kaleido

We are pleased to announce that Hyperledger Fabric on Kaleido has moved from Beta to General Availability.  Fabric joins our other GA software and services that are ready for production deployment on the platform.  Enterprise plan customers using Fabric also now benefit from our Enterprise SLA.

When creating an environment, you can select ‘Hyperledger Fabric’ as a protocol option in addition to our support for Corda OS and Ethereum variants Quorum, Go-Ethereum, and Hyperledger Besu.  For a detailed comparison of the three protocols, see our technical writeup.
