Node Providers operate one or more node machines than run in the IC network.
Gen1 Hardware requirements have been used by Node Providers to set up node machines during Genesis launch.
The Gen2 Hardware requirements have been defined for the further growth of the IC network. The specifications for the Gen2 node machines are generic (instead of vendor specific) and support VM memory encryption and attestation, which will be needed in future features on the IC. While Gen2 Node Providers are only strictly required to follow the generic specifications, it is strongly recommended for Node Providers to purchase one of the validated configurations listed below.
Gen 2 Node Machine requirements
