Blockchain network major Sui Builders with MENA operations now to run on AWS’ Node Runners

Through this integration, builders on Sui will be able to easily set up and deploy Sui full nodes within the AWS environment, benefitting from the high availability, scalability, and reliability of AWS’s robust cloud infrastructure, Sui said in a media release.

AWS Blockchain Node Runners simplifies the process of running blockchain nodes, allowing users to easily deploy, scale, manage, and monitor secure blockchain nodes.

Currently, Navi, a leading liquidity protocol, will be engaged as a Node Runner user to deploy full nodes on Sui, it said.

Kathryn Van Nuys, Global Head of Startups in Specialised Segments at AWS, said AWS Blockchain Node Runners was designed to support builders at all stages of the application lifecycle.

“We are excited to bring these and other features to empower developers to deploy and manage Sui nodes on the AWS cloud,” he said.

Node Runner offers several key technical advantages such as validated, best-practice deployment templates for scalable node operations across multiple geographies.

High availability is ensured through multi-node deployment options across different availability zones.

Full nodes on Sui validate on-chain activities such as transactions, checkpoints, and epoch changes, as well as stores the stake and history to better service client queries.

As part of AWS and Sui Foundation’s commitment to empowering Sui builders, developers and startups who utilise AWS Blockchain Node Runners or are building on Sui may be eligible for up to $5,000 in Activate credits.

Sui Foundation has also joined the AWS Web3 Provider programme, which offers access to tools, resources, content, and credits to Sui developers.

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 utilise and develop on AWS,” he said.
