This document provides instructions on how to setup HA Kubernetes cluster on AWS instances using Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE).

This document shows how to create and configure 3 control plane VMs (each with 4 vCPUs, 16GB RAM, 80GB disk storage & Ubuntu 18.04.4) and 12 worker VMs (each with 8 vCPUs, 32GB RAM, 160GB disk storage & Ubuntu 18.04.4) through AWS and deploy with HA kubernetes cluster through RKE.

Prerequisite: Users must have AWS account credentials to login and follow the below steps in AWS EC2/VPC dashboard.
