Deploy Aleo Nodes with One Click on Google Cloud Marketplace
Running an Aleo node with snarkOS just got a whole lot faster.
Contents

We’re excited to announce that snarkOS is now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace, allowing you to launch a fully functional Aleo client node in just a few clicks – no manual setup, compiling, or syncing from genesis required.

Whether you’re testing new network features, deploying a backend service, or experimenting with the Aleo ecosystem, this makes it easier than ever to get started and stay running.

From zero to tip, fully synced, faster

One-Click-Node-Launch

If you’ve run snarkOS before, you know the initial setup can be time-consuming, especially when syncing the chain for the first time.

With this new Google Cloud deployment, your node will automatically restore from a recent snapshot on first launch. That means you’ll go from deployment to synced and operational in a matter of hours.

From there, it behaves just like any snarkOS node you're used to, with REST API access enabled by default, making it easy to build and test services that interact directly with the Aleo network.

Built for flexibility

One-Click-Node-Form

This Marketplace launch gives you full control over how you run your node, without the overhead of managing infrastructure manually:

  • Choose your network – Launch on Testnet or Mainnet

  • Pick your specs – Select VM configurations that meet your performance and budget needs

  • Tailor your logs – Set logging verbosity levels at launch for better visibility during development or monitoring

And because the product itself is free to use, you only pay for the underlying Google Cloud VM – no licensing or deployment fees.

Made for Aleo builders

This launch is the result of a collaboration between BCW and Provable, designed to streamline Aleo node operations for builders, validators, and teams running services on top of the network.

If you’ve already been working with snarkOS, this gives you a fast, cloud-friendly way to deploy nodes onto Aleo.
