Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Usage Instructions
Step 1 Launch the instance
Use the CloudFormation Quick-Launch link on the listing page, or launch the AMI directly from EC2. Recommended instance type: m7g.2xlarge for mainnet.
Step 2 Set EC2 tags
After launch, set these tags on your instance:
| Tag | Value |
|---|---|
| BesuNetwork | mainnet |
| BesuSyncMode | SNAP |
| BesuDataDevice | /dev/sdf |
| BesuMetricsEnabled | true |
Step 3 Wait for initialisation
Monitor the first-run script:
journalctl -u besu-init -fWhen you see "besu-init complete" the node is configured and syncing.
Step 4 Check sync status
Step 5 Find your CloudWatch dashboard
AWS Console -> CloudWatch -> Dashboards -> BesuNode-{InstanceId}
