BAC-L3-OPS-104
Cloud architecture for node infrastructure
Designing the substrate: networking, storage, isolation, cost — accounting for real latency from Central Africa.
- Level
- L3 — Infrastructure engineer
- Duration
- 4 h
- Maintainer
- DevOps / Blockchain Infrastructure Engineer
Learning objectives
- 01Design a network topology isolating consensus nodes
- 02Choose a storage profile suited to a node's workload
- 03Compare costs across providers and local hosting
Guided lab
Deploy a two-zone topology with consensus nodes isolated from public entry points.
Independent lab
Compare cost and latency across three hosting options for a Cameroonian service.
Security angle
A consensus node must never be publicly reachable: build the topology that guarantees it.
Assessment
Costed architecture note comparing hosting options.
