# Create a Hyperledger Fabric Peer Node on Amazon Managed Blockchain (AMB)
Create a Peer Node

You can create a Hyperledger Fabric peer node in a member that is in your AWS account using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the AMB Access SDK [CreateNode](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/managed-blockchain/latest/APIReference/>API_CreateNode.html) action.

## To create a peer node using the AWS Management Console


1. Open the AMB Access console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/managedblockchain/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/managedblockchain/).

1. Choose **Networks**, select the network from the list, and then choose **View details**.

1. Select a **Member** from the list, and then choose **Create peer node**.

1. Choose configuration parameters for your peer node according to the guidelines in [Work with Hyperledger Fabric Peer Nodes on AMB Access](managed-blockchain-hyperledger-peer-nodes.md), and then choose **Create peer node**.

## To create a peer node using the AWS CLI

+ Use the `create-node` command, as shown in the following example. Replace the value of `--network-id`, `--member-id`, and `AvailabilityZone` as appropriate.

  ```
  [ec2-user@ip-192-0-2-17 ~]$ aws managedblockchain create-node \
  --node-configuration '{"InstanceType":"bc.t3.small","AvailabilityZone":"us-east-1a"}' \
  --network-id n-MWY63ZJZU5HGNCMBQER7IN6OIU \
  --member-id m-K46ICRRXJRCGRNNS4ES4XUUS5A
  ```

  The command returns output that includes the peer node's `NodeID`, as shown in the following example:

  ```
  {
       "NodeId": "nd-6EAJ5VA43JGGNPXOUZP7Y47E4Y"
  }
  ```
