Getting started

1. Apply the configuration:

$ terraform apply

2. Create a kubeconfig file:

$ terraform output kubeconfig > kubeconfig

3. Create and apply the config map:

$ terraform output config_map_aws_auth > config_map_aws_auth.yaml && \
KUBECONFIG=kubeconfig kubectl apply -f config_map_aws_auth.yaml

4. Verify that the worker nodes have joined the cluster:

KUBECONFIG=kubeconfig kubectl get nodes
