What all resources does Nodepilot create?
Resources that Nodepilot creates are listed under the platform specific page. Check here for GCP, here for AWS and here for Azure.
How much access does Nodepilot have?
The access depends on the permissions you provide to GCP serviceaccount, AWS user or Azure App. Nodepilot does not require any special permissions. It only requires permissions to create resources that are listed here for GCP and similar for other platforms.
You can also modify and implement a stricter policy for Nodepilot.
How to remove Nodepilot access?
Just delete the keys from your cloud provider or delete the user/serviceaccount that you created for Nodepilot. For SSH access, you can delete the public key from the authorized_keys file usually located in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys directory on the node.
How do I get started with your service?
To get started, checkout on which cloud you plan to run your blockchain node,
and based on that follow the instructions mentioned in respective
documentation.
What cloud providers do you support?
Primarily we support provisioning on AWS, GCP and Azure. If you already have a
server provisioned anywhere (cloud or datacenter), we can help set up a
blockchain node on it as well. Please reachout to us if you have custom
requirements, we are happy to help.
What is the advantage of using your service over setting up nodes manually?
Our service eliminates the complexities and technical challenges associated
with setting up and managing blockchain nodes. We handle the infrastructure
provisioning, networking, and other configurations, saving you time and
effort.
What blockchain networks and chains are supported?
Today we support SUI, BASE, ETH, AVAX, POLYGON, FLOW and APTOS. Please provide
us with the specific details of the network type and chain you want to deploy,
and we will configure it accordingly.
How long does it take to provision a blockchain node?
The provisioning takes less than 10 minutes, but the node syncing can take
time based on the chosen network and chain syncing speeds.
What happens if I need additional nodes or want to scale up my blockchain network?
You can easily scale up your blockchain network by requesting additional nodes
through our service. We will guide you through the process and ensure that the
new nodes are seamlessly integrated into your existing setup. In addition, we
can also setup HA node clusters for you.
How is billing handled for the cloud resources used by my blockchain nodes?
The billing for cloud resources (compute, storage, etc.) will be based on the
pricing model of the respective cloud provider you choose. You will be
responsible for any associated costs. There is no hidden cost associated with
Node Provisioning through Nodepilot. We only charge for the service we
provide.
Do you provide customer support in case I encounter any issues?
Yes, we offer customer support to assist you with any issues or questions you
may have. You can reach out to our support team through the chat widget on our
website,
discord or
email.
Can I migrate my existing blockchain nodes to your service?
Depending on the specifics of your existing setup, migration may be possible.
Please contact us to discuss your migration needs and we can determine the
feasibility.
Is there a limit to the number of blockchain nodes I can provision through your service?
There might be limits based on the cloud provider’s policies and your
subscription plan. Please consult our documentation or reach out to our
support team for more information.
What happens if I no longer need a blockchain node? Can I easily decommission it?
Yes, you can request to decommission or remove blockchain nodes that you no
longer need. We will guide you through the proper process to ensure a clean
and secure removal.
What kind of blockchain configurations can I customize when provisioning a node?
We by default allow only a handful customization options based on the inputs
that you provide. But in case of advanced configurations like node type,
additional capacity, etc, please reachout to us, we are happy to help.
Can I choose to deploy multiple blockchain nodes across different cloud providers for redundancy?
Yes, you can implement a multi-cloud strategy for improved redundancy and
availability by deploying nodes across multiple cloud providers.
Can I integrate external applications or services with my deployed blockchain nodes?
Yes, you can integrate external applications and services with your blockchain
nodes to build comprehensive solutions. Our service provides a node that has
the necessary networking and API capabilities enabled for such integrations.
How do you handle compliance and regulatory requirements for blockchain deployments?
We work with you to ensure that your blockchain deployments adhere to relevant
compliance and regulatory requirements.
Can I customize the monitoring and alerting settings for my blockchain nodes?
Yes, you can customize monitoring and alerting settings based on your specific
requirements. You are free to use your choice of your monitoring solution.
Is there a trial period or demo available for me to test your service before committing?
We offer trial periods for eligible customers to experience our service
firsthand and determine if it meets their needs before making a commitment.
Just reach out to us and we will be happy to help.
