Add Tape into test_network_k8s as sample

[SamYuan1990]

Hi Fabric_samples,

I am planning to add tape in to test network k8s sample.

Please let me know your points.

Thanks and regards
Sam

Hi @SamYuan1990 , firstly thanks for your support to Fabric!

I think that for the k8s test network, we shouldn't add in too much extra tooling; the idea to try and keep it as easy to extract techniques from.. i.e. keep using it as an example/sample.

However, including something, such as Tape, in something like the test_network_k8s is interesting. Perhaps it should live else where? (github.com/hyperledgendary perhaps?)

The reason I am asking, is that I see https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/tree/main/test-network-k8s#areas-for-improvement--todos and hyperledger-caliper/caliper#1149, meanwhile, https://github.com/SamYuan1990/distributedtape I had verified that tape at alpha branch supporting for distributed.

Hyperledger Lab.. sounds a good idea... certainly worth making the Caliper maintainers aware as well.

An aim of the k8s network, was to try and make it easier to build up and out from the basics.. so we can get to "highervalue" things.. such as what you're suggesting.

yes, I am agree that put the full sandbox into fabric-samples sounds like too heavy. However as performance is one of the top items according to Oct's survey result. I suppose a sandbox can help us know more about performance. which means we may need to create a new lab project from this test-network-k8s?

@mbwhite , I had submit the labs propose as https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/hyperledger-labs.github.io/pull/185, please help take a look at. if you like it, please help with sponsor.

https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/PerformanceSandBox @mbwhite , I suppose we can answer this discussion with lab project PerformanceSandBox.
