Flare has officially launched its Blockchain Machine Images on the Google Cloud Marketplace, allowing for the quick deployment of full nodes across more than 20 networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Avalanche. The goal of this development is to simplify node setup for Web3 developers, reducing the time and expenses typically associated with full-node infrastructure.
Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images are now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace, providing a seamless and user-friendly way for developers to deploy full nodes on various networks. This integration was announced by Flare Network on its official social media platform, X.
The deployment process for blockchain nodes is made simple with Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images. Users can simply click the deploy button on the Google Cloud Marketplace, and within minutes, their desired blockchain node will be up and running in their environment. The latest image ID can be used in autoscaling groups to enhance stability and offer a flexible development setup.
Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images also offer financial advantages for businesses. Traditional blockchain node deployment requires significant resources and can cost thousands of dollars per month. However, Flare’s solution allows for dedicated node deployment at around $300 per month, reducing enterprise costs and eliminating the need for maintenance setups or reliance on external providers.
Moreover, Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images cater to various Web3 use cases, enabling companies to integrate blockchain data into their systems without incurring additional costs. Businesses gain unrestricted RPC call capabilities and data indexing, giving developers greater control and flexibility. This aligns with Flare’s ongoing efforts to expand its cloud-based services and streamline blockchain integration within the Flare ecosystem.
The integration of Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images also supports the internal operations of the network, particularly for its Attestation Providers, which are responsible for securely transmitting data from other blockchains. The Blockchain Machine Images simplify this process and help these providers maintain a stable data feed within the Flare network. Flare is continuously improving its blockchain infrastructure to make it easier for developers and businesses to launch projects within the ecosystem.
