Discontinuation of RPC Nodes 5-20 and the new ninodes

Hi Team,

I can see that a lot of the AWS Nodes are being discontinued, and being moved to region nodes.
As latency to nodes for POW is essentially not an issue, is there a specific reason these are being changed, is this in preparation for POS somehow?

Are all AWS Nodes going to be removed eventually and only leaving the 4-5 region ones?

Any news on when the partnership planetarium was having with the supplier to allow users to spin their own nodes with ease?

As you said, we’re working with Node Infra as a node provider now but frankly said, it wasn’t PoS transition agenda yet… :sweat_smile: it has been intended as testing affinity against our development strategy and outside node operators.

Well, at least so far, there are no plans or schedules for the withdrawal of the nodes we directly operate. but ultimately, we still want the network to be maintained even if we don’t run our own nodes, so maybe that’s a plan for the future.

Perhaps the first partner (mentioned above) will be Node Infra. The schedule is being delayed due to technical problems than expected, but I think we will be able to give an update at least within this year.
