Currently cLabs provides the following machine images:

- `celo-alfajores-full-node-latest`
- `celo-alfajores-lightest-node-latest`
- `celo-mainnet-full-node-latest`
- `celo-mainnet-lightest-node-latest`

Please note that the time taken to sync a full node could be significant.

## Amazon Web Services

To get started with a Celo blockchain node on AWS, ensure you're in the North Virginia region (us-east-1). You'll need to navigate to the AMIs tab of the EC2 page. From there you can change your search to only include `Public images` and enter `celo-`.

## Google Cloud Platform

To get started with a Celo blockchain node on GCP, you'll need to navigate to the Images tab of the Compute Engine page. From there you can search for public images and enter `celo-`.
GCP by default won't display public machine images when you search for them in your console. This means you'll need to go via the API or [gcloud](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud) command line to launch a node.

{% hint style="info" %}
The cLabs GCP account is called `celo-testnet`, if you're new to Celo or GCP, ensure that the `Created by` column of the image you're launching matches `celo-testnet`.
{% endhint %}
Depending on the type of node you'd like to launch (see the above list), the `gcloud` command to use may look a bit like this:

```bash
gcloud compute instances create <INSTANCE_NAME> --image <IMAGE_NAME> --image-project celo-testnet --project <YOUR_GCP_PROJECT>
```

For more information please check the excellent [GCP documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images) on how to launch a compute instance from a public image.
