Binance Academy unveils “AWS Blockchain Node Runners for BNB Chain” course

Binance Academy, Binance’s open-access blockchain and crypto learning hub, and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) have officially launched an online course, “AWS Blockchain Node Runners for $BNB Chain,” as learned by Finbold on Monday, January 27.

The quick 15-minute course provides practical, step-by-step instructions for deploying $BNB Chain nodes using AWS Blockchain Node Runners, an open-source initiative that simplifies the deployment and management of self-managed blockchain nodes on AWS with deployable blueprints.

Tailored toward developers, blockchain enthusiasts, and infrastructure providers, the course offers theoretical insights and practical, hands-on demonstrations to help users host their own $BNB Chain nodes efficiently.

Education as the way forward for crypto adoption

The $BNB Chain blueprint, an integral part of the AWS Blockchain Node Runners program, premiered at AWS re:Invent 2024, a global cloud computing learning conference held between December 2 and December 6 in Las Vegas, USA.

“AWS Blockchain Node Runners for $BNB Chain” was exhibited through workshops offering a high-level overview and a hands-on lab. Furthermore, participants learned to use deployable blueprints to set up nodes for three major blockchain networks, including $BNB Chain.

Stephen McAllister, Team Lead at Binance Academy, commended the new learning course:

“Education is critical for crypto adoption, and at Binance Academy, we are committed to providing accessible, high-quality learning resources. By partnering with AWS to launch the ‘AWS Blockchain Node Runners for $BNB Chain’ course, we aim to make blockchain infrastructure even more accessible and practical for developers and enthusiasts worldwide.”

Participants in the new course can learn how AWS Node Runners contribute to streamlining node infrastructure, explore $BNB Chain’s architecture and deployable blueprints’ features, and accomplish a hands-on deployment with a detailed step-by-step guide to create their own $BNB Chain node on AWS.

Lastly, learners can access many additional AWS Web3 resources to support additional blockchain development. The course is available in English, free of charge.
