Introduction

The intent of this repository is to provide a baseline deployment for an out of the box, secure, and highly available Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE2) cluster on AWS, managed by Terraform. In this implementation, I wanted to remove most of the assumptions and complexities that you see in many deployments.
