Direct VM Deployment (ChainLaunch)
Kubernetes Deployment
Direct VMs can be deployed across different regions for geographic redundancy. Kubernetes clusters are typically bound to a single region.

AWS Hyperledger Fabric Hosting FAQ
How much does Hyperledger Fabric cost on AWS?
A production Fabric network on AWS typically costs $5,000-$15,000+/month. A 4-peer Multi-Org setup with c5.9xlarge instances ($1,116/mo each), 10TB EBS storage, and EKS runs approximately $7,900/month.
What EC2 instance type is best for Fabric peer nodes?
Compute-optimized C5 instances are recommended. c5.4xlarge (16 vCPU, 32GB) for staging at $496/mo, or c5.9xlarge (36 vCPU, 72GB) for production at $1,116/mo. Memory-optimized R5 instances work well for CouchDB-heavy workloads.
Should I use EKS or EC2 for Hyperledger Fabric on AWS?
Direct EC2 deployment saves 20-30% vs EKS. EKS adds $73/mo control plane fee plus 30% compute overhead for system pods. EC2 also enables multi-region deployment for geographic failover, which is complex with single-region EKS clusters.
How can I reduce AWS costs for Hyperledger Fabric?
1) Use Reserved Instances for 30-60% savings on predictable workloads. 2) Deploy directly on EC2 instead of EKS. 3) Use GP3 storage instead of GP2. 4) Consider Hetzner or DigitalOcean for 50-65% lower base costs.
