Capabilities

If Composer is used to assist with building aspects of a Fabric-based blockchain, then Cello is a tool to assist with the deployment of that blockchain to various servers and cloud services. Cello can be used to manage the blockchain infrastructure or launch new blockchains in a blockchain-as-a-service approach. Common life cycle and deployment tasks include starting, stopping, and deleting a blockchain, deploying new nodes to an existing blockchain, and abstracting the blockchain operation so that it can run on local machines, in the cloud, in a virtual machine, and so on. Cello also allows monitoring and analytics. Cello is primarily a tool for DevOps, or the connection between development teams and production.
