TL;DR
- Binance Academy and AWS unveil a free online course that helps users deploy BNB Chain nodes on AWS infrastructure.
- The course is specifically designed for developers, blockchain enthusiasts, and infrastructure providers seeking hands-on experience with BNB Chain.
- It offers practical, step-by-step training using AWS Blockchain Node Runners and provides additional resources for continued blockchain development in Web3.
Binance Academy, a leading educational platform for blockchain and crypto enthusiasts, has launched a new online course in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The course, titled “AWS Blockchain Node Runners for BNB Chain,” aims to simplify the process of deploying blockchain nodes on AWS infrastructure. This free, 15-minute course is designed to guide developers and blockchain enthusiasts through the process of setting up their own BNB Chain nodes.
A Step-By-Step Guide for Blockchain Enthusiasts
The course is part of the AWS Blockchain Node Runners initiative, an open-source program that streamlines the deployment and management of blockchain nodes. Using AWS’s technology, users can deploy self-managed nodes with ease, utilizing deployable blueprints that automate much of the technical complexity involved. This initiative is geared toward developers looking to explore the BNB Chain ecosystem and other blockchain technologies.
The course provides both theoretical insights and practical demonstrations, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Participants will be walked through each step of the process, from understanding BNB Chain’s architecture to successfully deploying a node using AWS infrastructure. This hands-on approach makes it ideal for developers who want to deepen their understanding of blockchain infrastructure.
Building a Stronger Blockchain Ecosystem
The launch of this course builds on the success of AWS re:Invent 2024, where the AWS Blockchain Node Runners program was first introduced. At the event, AWS showcased workshops and lab sessions where participants learned how to deploy nodes for various blockchain networks, including BNB Chain. This course follows in the same footsteps, offering a more accessible way for users to gain practical skills in blockchain node deployment.
Stephen McAllister, Team Lead at Binance Academy, emphasized the importance of education for driving widespread crypto adoption. He noted,
“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 create the course, Binance Academy hopes to equip developers and blockchain enthusiasts with the tools they need to manage blockchain infrastructure more effectively.
In addition to the practical aspects of setting up nodes, the course also offers participants access to a wealth of resources to continue their Web3 and blockchain education. Learners can tap into additional AWS Web3 resources to support further blockchain development and innovation.
The course is available in English and is completely free. This initiative reinforces Binance Academy’s commitment to making blockchain knowledge accessible to a global audience.
