Deploy an EKS Cluster
Use Terraform to deploy an EKS cluster.
The repository EKS folder contains a
Terraform plan that deploys a Kubernetes cluster in Amazon's Elastic
Kubernetes Service (EKS). This cluster meets the minimum requirements
to support a CN-Series firewall and can span multiple availability
zones for maximum redundancy and scalability.
