Sui Foundation Announces Integration of Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) Blockchain Node Runners on Sui

Sui Foundation, committed to promoting and embracing the layer 1 blockchain of the same name, recently revealed the incorporation of Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) Blockchain Node Runners on Sui. This integration offers developers a convenient self-managed node deployment solution.

With this integration, developers on Sui can effortlessly configure and launch Sui full nodes on the AWS platform, taking advantage of AWS’s powerful cloud infrastructure that offers exceptional availability, scalability, and reliability. With AWS Blockchain Node Runners, running blockchain nodes becomes a breeze. You can effortlessly deploy, scale, manage, and monitor secure blockchain nodes all in one place. Starting today, Navi, a prominent liquidity protocol, will utilize Node Runner to deploy full nodes on Sui.

Kathryn Van Nuys, Global Head of Startups in Specialized Segments at AWS, said, “AWS Blockchain Node Runners was designed to support builders at all stages of the application lifecycle, offering blueprints to meet specific requirements, from enhanced security and compliance to ease of deployment and monitoring. We are excited to bring these and other features to empower developers to deploy and manage Sui nodes on the AWS cloud.”

Node Runners provides a range of technical advantages for deploying blockchain nodes. It offers verified, top-notch deployment templates for easily managing node operations in various locations. Ensuring high availability is a top priority, so it offers multi-node deployment options across various availability zones. The deployment code is open-source and can be found on GitHub, allowing users to review it before deployment. Node Runners is designed to seamlessly integrate with the AWS Well-Architected Framework, enabling organizations to construct robust, reliable, and optimized node infrastructures. Businesses can establish secure, high-performing, and resilient node infrastructures by leveraging Node Runners. Full nodes on Sui are crucial in validating on-chain activities like transactions, checkpoints, and epoch changes. They also store the stake and history to handle client queries efficiently. By delegating query servicing to validator nodes, validators can prioritize transaction processing and node updates upon completing new transactions.

Navi, a prominent player in the cryptocurrency world, has recently become one of the early adopters of Node Runners on Sui. Today, they successfully launched their first node using AWS’s service.

As part of the commitment to supporting Sui builders, developers, and startups who use AWS Blockchain Node Runners or are building on Sui, they may qualify for up to $5,000 in Activate credits. Sui Foundation has recently become a part of the AWS Web3 Provider program. This program provides Sui developers various benefits, including access to tools, resources, content, and credits.

Henrik Johansson, Global Head of Community at Sui Foundation, said, “The integration of AWS Node Runners on Sui marks a pivotal advancement to enhancing blockchain infrastructure. Sui nodes are fundamental to the operation and accessibility of Sui. This integration with AWS not only provides developers with more tools to simplify node deployment but also financial support to utilize and develop on AWS.”
