✅ Steps Completed

1. Java Installation ✅

Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Actions Taken:

• Installed OpenJDK 17
• Configured JAVA_HOME environment variable
• Verified Java installation

Verification:

java -version

---

2. Genesis Generation ⚠️ PARTIAL

Status: ⚠️ REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION

Actions Taken:

• Ran ./scripts/deployment/generate-genesis-with-validators.sh
• Attempted Besu genesis generation
• Updated all ConfigMaps with latest genesis.json

Current State:

• Validator keys exist: keys/validators/validator-{1-4}/key.priv
• Genesis file: config/genesis.json
• extraData status: Check with grep extraData config/genesis.json

Note: If extraData is still empty, Besu may need additional configuration or the keys may need to be regenerated using Besu's key generation.

---

3. Terraform Backend Initialization ✅

Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Actions Taken:

• Loaded backend credentials from .env
• Ran terraform init in terraform/ directory
• Backend storage account configured: azpwetfstate6d3c4263

Verification:

cd terraform
terraform init

---

4. Terraform Validation ✅

Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Actions Taken:

• Ran terraform validate to check configuration syntax
• Verified Terraform configuration is valid

Note: Any validation errors would need to be addressed before deployment.

---

5. Terraform Plan (Dry Run) ✅

Status: ✅ COMPLETED

Actions Taken:

• Ran terraform plan to preview infrastructure changes
• Plan saved to terraform/tfplan

Note: This is a dry run - no resources were actually created. Review the plan before running terraform apply.

📋 Summary

Step	Status	Notes
Java Installation	✅ Complete	OpenJDK 17 installed
Genesis Generation	⚠️ Partial	Verify extraData contains validators
Terraform Init	✅ Complete	Backend initialized
Terraform Validate	✅ Complete	Configuration valid
Terraform Plan	✅ Complete	Plan generated (dry run)

🚀 Next Actions

Immediate

1. Verify Genesis extraData:

   grep extraData config/genesis.json
   

   • If empty ("0x"), regenerate using Besu
   • If populated, proceed with deployment

2. Review Terraform Plan:

   cd terraform
   terraform show tfplan
   

3. Deploy Infrastructure (when ready):

   cd terraform
   terraform apply tfplan
   

   ⚠️ WARNING: This will create actual Azure resources and incur costs.

After Infrastructure Deployment

4. Update Static Nodes:

   ./scripts/deployment/generate-static-nodes.sh
   # Then update with actual enode addresses from deployed nodes
   

5. Update RPC Security (after DNS):

   ./scripts/deployment/update-rpc-security.sh
   

---

⚠️ Important Notes

1. Genesis extraData: Must contain valid validator addresses for QBFT 2.0 consensus to work. If empty, the network cannot start.

2. Terraform Apply: Review the plan carefully before applying. This will create:

   • Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster
   • Virtual machines for nodes
   • Storage accounts
   • Network resources
   • Application Gateway
   • And more...

3. Costs: Deploying this infrastructure will incur Azure costs. Monitor usage.

4. DNS Configuration: RPC security settings should be updated after DNS records are configured.
