Fabric requirements
need to bring up containers under Docker compose to run through example tests.
moving to kubernetes is possible however Fabric node requires access to the docker daemon to run chain code.
new solution is to build chain code as an executable that runs in a process rather than docker image.
testing environment has peers and orderers running in VMs and they require bringing up docker containers for running chain code.
there are places in fabric test that are relying on compose to run everything. so running those in a kube pod there are issues but on a vm they don't.
if LF went to kubernetes without a VM option, it will be a non-started for the Fabric team because they don't have the bandwidth to make the necessary changes to bring their pipeline over.
Make vm-based node pool in kubernetes as part of the solution.
How do we want to handle packer images?
Is there anything that can be done to get help with problems with the packer images in the ci-management repo?
We have a huge issue with an packer image related to maven that has been hard to diagnose and LFIT has refused to help investigate since it isn't using an ansible-based packer system.
