Creating a Talos Linux Cluster on AWS with Pulumi
Scott Lowe
FEBRUARY 24, 2023
This includes a VPC (and all the assorted other pieces, like subnets, gateways, routes, and route tables) and a load balancer. The load balancer is needed for the Kubernetes control plane, which we will bootstrap later in the program. This portion also creates the EC2 instances for the control plane.
