This template deploys a vanilla kubernetes cluster initialized using kubeadm. It deploys a configured master node with a cluster autoscaler. A pre-configured Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) is also deployed and automatically attached to the cluster. The cluster autoscaler can then automatically scale up/down the cluster depending on the workload of the cluster.
