Cloud-computing platform Amazon Web Services reveals partnership with Ava Labs “to try to bring wider adoption of blockchain technology” by enterprises, institutions and governments. The partnership will apparently make it easier for developers to launch and manage nodes on the Avalanche blockchain, as AWS will support for Avalanche’s infrastructure and decentralized applications (dapps).
Ava Labs also says it is planning to add “subnet” deployment, a network within a network, to the AWS Marketplace, enabling both individuals and institutions to easily launch custom subnets. Although the partnership with Ava Labs is AWS’ first partnership with a blockchain project, several other blockchains, including Ethereum and other smaller ones, already use AWS to power their networks.
Emin Gün Sirer, founder and CEO of Ava Labs, stated:
“It has been a huge boon for both individual and enterprise developers to be able to spin up nodes and test networks on the fly with AWS in whatever legal jurisdiction makes the most sense for them.”
