     1  # Getting Started
     2  
     3  Deploy a fully-functional Kubernetes cluster using AWS CloudFormation. Your cluster will be configured to use AWS features to enhance Kubernetes. For example, Kubernetes may automatically provision an Elastic Load Balancer for each Kubernetes Service.
     4  
     5  The [kube-aws](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kube-aws/releases) CLI tool can be used to automate cluster deployment to AWS.
     6  
     7  After completing this guide, a deployer will be able to interact with the Kubernetes API from their workstation using the `kubectl` CLI tool.

    12  * [Step 1: Configure][getting-started-step-1]
    13    * Download the latest release of kube-aws
    14    * Define account and cluster settings
    15  * [Step 2: Render][getting-started-step-2]
    16    * Compile a re-usable CloudFormation template for the cluster
    17    * Optionally adjust template configuration
    18    * Validate the rendered CloudFormation stack
    19  * [Step 3: Launch][getting-started-step-3]
    20    * Create the CloudFormation stack and start our EC2 machines
    21    * Set up CLI access to the new cluster
    22  * [Step 4: Update][getting-started-step-4]
    23    * Update the CloudFormation stack
    24  * [Step 5: Add Node Pool][getting-started-step-5]
    25    * Create the additional pool of worker nodes
    26    * Adjust template configuration for each pool of worker nodes
    27  * [Step 6: Configure add-ons][getting-started-step-6]
    28    * Configure various Kubernetes add-ons
    29  * [Step 7: Destroy][getting-started-step-7]
