Amazon Web Services (AWS) has just made it easier for developers to run Ethereum nodes using its cloud services, adding the Ethereum blockchain to its Amazon Managed Blockchain services, according to an announcement on Tuesday. It's a move many developers had long been clamoring for. Currently, around 57% of Ethereum nodes are hosted on cloud services, with 40% of those hosted nodes using AWS. This implies that around 19% of Ethereum nodes are run on AWS already. But this is the first time Amazon has provided its own Ethereum management option through its blockchain service, making it easy for anyone to spin up a node “in minutes,” the company touts.
