    <h2>Develop in a cloud sandbox<br>IBM Blockchain Platform</h2>
    <p>Follow these instructions to launch a basic IBM Blockchain network on the IBM Container Service's free plan.

    Most users will want to follow the <b>Prepare & Setup</b> instructions, to prepare a cluster on the IBM Container Service ready for IBM Blockchain to deploy to, and then the <b>Simple Install</b> instructions to deploy the default Developer Environment in a single script.</p>
    <h3>What do I get?</h3>
    <p>The <b>Simple Install</b> will bring up the following components:

    <ul>
      <li>A pre-configured Fabric (blockchain runtime):</li>
        <ul>3 Fabric CAs (one apiece for the orderer org and two peer orgs)</ul>
        <ul>Orderer node (running "solo")</ul>
        <ul>2 Fabric peer nodes (one apiece for each peer org - <code>org1</code> & <code>org2</code>)</ul>
        <ul>Some example installed and instantiated chaincode</ul>
      <li>Composer Playground (UI for creating and deploying Business Networks to Fabric)</li>
      <li>The basic-sample-network deployed</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
    It also creates services to expose the components.

    At the end of the install, you will be able to obtain a public URL to access your instance of Composer Playground. Next, see the <b>Interacting with your Blockchain</b> topic.  This will teach you how to develop Business Networks, and how to expose your deployed network as a REST API for further application development.</p>
    <h3>Ready to get started?</h3>
    <p>The first step is to run through the <b>Prepare & Setup</b> instructions:</p>

    <p> <b>Warning</b> these instructions will stand up a publicly accessible development environment for IBM Blockchain.  We recommend you only use it for experimentation, and it is <b>not suitable and not supported</b> for any sort of production deployment.  If that's what you need, you should instead take a look at the <a href="https://console.bluemix.net/catalog/services/blockchain">IBM Blockchain Platform Service on IBM Cloud</a>, which provides a fully managed Fabric runtime (you could also install the local Dev Tools to build your business networks, then push them to the managed service in a secure way).</p>
    <h3>Can I run this locally?</h3>
    <p>You <i>could</i> choose to run these images locally with Minikube.  However, if you're looking for a local Blockchain development environment, we recommend following the <a href="https://ibm-blockchain.github.io/develop/installing/development-tools">Development Environment install</a>: this uses Docker and Docker Compose to run Fabric on your local machine, and comes with other useful tools like a VSCode extension and CLI tools to deploy the Business Networks you create elsewhere (e.g. Fabric running on IBM Cloud) later on.</p>
