This paper presents a blockchain cloud deployment for an industrial vehicle use case. Hyperledger Sawtooth is used as distributed ledger with Rancher and Kubernetes as container-orchestration. This paper aims to explore the feasibility and scalability of the use case in a real-world scenario cloud deployment. Also, the blockchain performances is analyzed by stressing the implementation with virtual IoT clients, changing the blockchain settings, number of peer members and editing the core software default parameters. Benchmarks will reveal that Hyperledger Sawtooth performance can be as high as 25 transaction per seconds for a network of 4 nodes with PBFT consensus. Results lead us to discuss the possible components reducing throughput and blockchain commit rate.
