  • Patent number: 11194791
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method comprises receiving a request to deploy one or more blockchain nodes in a blockchain network. The request includes one or more parameters of a plurality of parameters. The one or more parameters comprise one or more cloud infrastructure providers, one or more regions and a blockchain protocol. A mapping that associates each parameter of the plurality of parameters with a subset of cluster configuration data is used to generate a first message based on the one or more parameters received in the request. Cluster configuration data comprises programming interface (API) information for a plurality of cluster, authentication information for the plurality of clusters and additional configuration data for the plurality of clusters. A second message is generated based at least in part on the first message and deployment configuration data. The deployment configuration data comprises digital data used to deploy the one or more blockchain nodes to the target cluster.
