It's a start! - Kubernetes on AWS

Without a start, it's difficult to know where to begin and what needs to be done. A well-defined start to a project helps to set the tone, direction, and expectations for the project, which are critical for its success. It also helps to establish a timeline, allocate resources, and set goals and objectives. By having a clear start, the team can begin working together towards a common goal and ensure that everyone is on the same page from the outset. Ultimately, a solid start to a project can help to minimize risks, improve efficiency, and ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.
