Hyperledger Bevel for Cross-ledger/Blockchain deployment

[knagware9]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. blockchain/Ledger Interoperability is a needed feature to deploy bevel in a cross-ledger environment. Bevel support multiple blockchain ledger and anyone can deploy fabric, indy, Besu using a bevel. As Bevel support multiple ledgers then its good to have a bevel to support multiple ledgers in one deployment.

Describe the solution you'd like Hyperledger Cactus support ledger Interoperability but use a traditional way of deployment, Bevel can support Cactus deployment with the right tooling and production deployment.

Describe alternatives you've considered Hyperledger Cactus is used to deploy cross-ledger solutions. In Climate SIG One of the mentees uses cactus for fabric & the Besu/Ethereum network. The same application can be a starting point to support Bevel for Hyperledger cactus deployment.

@sownak I think we can use this mentorship project to achieve this. In the last mentorship project, we were able to run carbon accounting lab(https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/blockchain-carbon-accounting) in cactus and now we can extend. Please check below proposed mentorship project. https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/INTERN/Deploy+Carbon+Accounting+Network+with+Bevel

Is the ask in this proposal to support Cactus deployment in Bevel?

[knagware9]

@arsulegai Yes, support cactus deployment in Bevel. Above mentorship project proposal to deploy lab in Bevel and earlier we have deployed lab in cactus so I think whether we create a separate mentorship project proposal for cactus + Bevel or use the same proposal. I will discuss with Si Chen and plan accordingly.

This is now complete with PR #2175 . The Fabric connector is not tested because of issues with running cactus api server with CLI args.
