What is the Orderer Peer Configuration File, orderer.yaml?

The Orderer Peer Configuration File, orderer.yaml, provides settings to control the behavior of the Orderer peer.

You can take a copy of the orderer.yaml provided in Fabric binary and sample package:

$ cd fabric-orderer

$ cp ~/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/config/orderer.yaml .

$ more orderer.yaml
