Abstract

In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain technology, efficient and reliable blockchain network creation poses a significant challenge. Manual processes in blockchain network setup often consume time, are prone to errors, and difficult to maintain. This research aims to optimize the creation of blockchain networks by leveraging Ansible automation tools on private blockchains using Hyperledger Fabric and implementing a simplified RAFT method. The approach involves configuring blockchain infrastructure with Ansible and integrating the simplified RAFT method into the private blockchain network. The test results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly reduces the time required for blockchain network creation. In testing with a 92 Mbps internet connection, the time needed to create a blockchain network with 1 orderer and 1 peer with 44 connected channels, ready for transactions, was successfully reduced from 102.6 minutes to only 51.4 minutes. Moreover, the Ansible automation approach reduces the risk of errors and simplifies network maintenance. In conclusion, this research confirms the effectiveness of the proposed approach in optimizing the blockchain network creation process, reducing the required time, and enhancing efficiency and ease of maintenance. The proposed solution provides a valuable contribution to the development of efficient private blockchain infrastructure while minimizing errors and increasing flexibility.
