Binance Academy Teams Up with AWS to Launch Blockchain Node Course

Binance Academy, the educational arm of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has launched a new course in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The course, titled "AWS Blockchain Node Runners for BNB Chain," is designed to teach blockchain enthusiasts, developers, and infrastructure providers how to build and manage their own BNB Chain nodes using AWS.

The 15-minute course combines theoretical insights with practical, real-life demonstrations, guiding users through the process of deploying a BNB Chain node on an AWS blockchain node runner. It includes step-by-step illustrations of how to deploy open-source blockchain management, making it an accessible and comprehensive learning experience.

The course introduces learners to the deployable blueprints of AWS, first introduced at the AWS re:Invent 2024 conference. These blueprints are a series of program offerings designed to facilitate node deployment on blockchain networks, such as BNB Chain. The course provides a comprehensive overview of the architecture and features of AWS Node Runners, enabling learners to deploy their own node on AWS.

Binance Academy has previously held workshops at AWS re:Invent 2024, guiding attendees through the process of establishing nodes for large blockchain networks like BNB Chain. These workshops also demonstrated step-by-step working sessions on optimizing node infrastructure using AWS Blockchain Node Runners.

Stephen McAllister, team leader at Binance Academy, emphasized the importance of education in advancing the use of cryptocurrency. "Together with AWS, we can bring blockchain infrastructure to everyone, anywhere, and make it even more useful," McAllister said.

The launch of this course aligns with Binance Academy's mission to provide quality education on blockchain and cryptocurrency topics to a global audience. With over 1,000 educational resources already available, Binance Academy continues to expand its offerings to support the growing interest in Web3 technologies.

The free-of-charge course, "AWS Blockchain Node Runners for BNB Chain," is now available on the Binance Academy platform. This course aims to equip users with the necessary tools to further their learning about blockchain technology as part of their Web3 endeavors.
