Deploy an Ethereum node on Amazon Managed Blockchain
Amazon Managed Blockchain support for managed Ethereum nodes makes it possible to build your own decentralized applications (dapps) without having to worry about maintaining reliable Ethereum nodes for relaying blockchain transactions or querying the state of blockchain data.
The decentralized architecture of the Ethereum network makes it possible to create unstoppable applications that can be accessed in a permissionless fashion by any user with an Ethereum wallet. You gain access to a growing array of innovative dapps that offer goods and services in a decentralized way without any gatekeepers or intermediaries. Decentralized financial services (DeFi) is an area of rapid innovation in this space.
You can deploy several nodes in different Availability Zones for high availability, load balancing, and failover. Subsequent blog posts will cover these advanced architectures in more detail.
Your Ethereum node takes approximately 30–60 minutes to deploy. This is the time it takes to copy the current state of the blockchain onto a new volume and synchronize the most recent blocks from the ledger.
