To provision the resources in this repository:

1. git clone https://github.com/Kenny-AngJY/eks-scaling.git
2. cd ../terraform
3. terraform init
4. terraform plan
   There should be 48 resources to be created.
5. terraform apply
   As no backend is defined, the default backend will be local. Do wait for 10-15 minutes for the resources to be provisioned.

Clean-up

1. terraform destroy
