by the peer, and then connect back to the peer. It is now possible to run chaincode as
an external service, for example in a Kubernetes pod, which a peer can
connect to and utilize for chaincode execution. See <a class="reference internal" href="cc_service.html"><span class="doc">}</span></a> for more
