The project uses an Infrastructure as code (IaC) approach with **Terraform**, **Terragrunt**, and **Bash**. + The procedure to instantiate Casper nodes in AWS builds on the methodologies detailed in [Installing a Node](../setup/install-node.md), excluding the steps for network bonding and acquiring validator status. Bonding converts a node into a validator node, a concept outside the scope of the IaC infrastructure. Thus, Casper nodes configured with this approach operate as read-only nodes. ## Advantages of using IaC in AWS
