Ethereum mainnet and testnets now available for Amazon Web Services users

Amazon Web Services users reportedly own the ability to provision Ethereum nodes and connect to the blockchain’s mainnet and other testnets starting this week.

Tech giant Amazon has just announced the general availability of Ethereum on its Managed Blockchain.

According to Amazon Web Services (AWS), users now have the ability to “provision Ethereum Nodes.” Additionally, they can connect to the blockchain’s mainnet and the Ropsten and Rinkeby testnets through Amazon Managed Blockchain. The program claims to provide secure access to the network with “standard open-source Ethereum APIs” and flawless synchronization with the Ethereum blockchain. According to Amazon, it states:

Amazon Managed Blockchain monitors node health, replaces unhealthy nodes, and automates Ethereum software upgrades, improving customers’ Ethereum infrastructure. In addition to DeFi applications, customers developing analytical products such as smart contract monitoring tools and fraud detection software can also benefit from this scalable, highly available, and fully managed Ethereum service.
