CCHost (the CCF node executable) takes a configuration file to describe the initial actions of the node, we currently have this template which describes a node who will start a new network.
We need to write a second template or just set the existing one using config_gen.py
which uses the command "Join" instead of "Start" and sets any other required fields that the join protocol needs.
For more info, see the CCF docs https://microsoft.github.io/CCF/main/operations/configuration.html
To deploy this new flavour of node, see service_deploy.py
we will want a new script which does mostly the same things, but we might need a second .bicep template (depending on what exactly needs to be changed)
Ultimately the new script will need to deploy a container instance running the Join config we create in step 1
For accepting the new node, we might need to submit proposals (likely as the initial node, see usage of the function proposal_submit across the repo for how to do that)
By default the initial network auto accepts proposals, but we would need to implement https://github.com/microsoft/confidential-operations/issues/15 if we want to operate with a constitution with more realistic voting procedures
