Abstract

As blockchain applications are available in clouds, the resource allocation of blockchain becomes an important issue. This paper investigates the resource consumption of Hyperledger Fabric that is a popular blockchain framework. As Fabric consists of several components, this paper characterizes the resource consumption of Fabric components. Then, we attempt to control the CPU allocation of the components and explore the performance implications. Our evaluation results show that the 'proper' CPU allocation of Kafka component reduces the CPU usage of the overall Fabric by 14% but the performance of Fabric does not decrease. Our result suggests that clouds can benefit from such control of CPU allocation to Fabric.
