1. A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining a master-slave agreement (MSA) for a first group of blockchain nodes and a second group of blockchain nodes;
transmitting first instructions and a first network configuration to a cloud service provider (CSP) node, wherein the first instructions indicate to the CSP node to configure the first group of blockchain nodes according to the first network configuration, wherein the CSP node configures the first group of blockchain nodes utilizing first credentials;
transmitting second instructions to a public server, wherein the second instructions indicate to the public server to configure the second group of blockchain nodes, wherein the public server obtains a public smart contract that includes a second network configuration, wherein the public server configures the second group of blockchain nodes according to the second network configuration utilizing second credentials;
obtaining the public smart contract from the public server; and
adjusting the first credentials according to the public smart contract.
