# Infrastructure deployment
<a name="infrastructure-deployment"></a>

Infrastructure deployment provisions any infrastructure components. It includes spawning the EKS cluster and the supporting infrastructure, such as EFS, EKS Worker nodes, ELBs, and configuring the cluster according to cloud-native network function requirements. Based on the CNF requirements, AWS also deploys extra network interfaces for the nodes, including [Multus](https://github.com/intel/multus-cni) interfaces. Most of the deployment and configuration steps are a one-time effort for an application, and are updated only when needed as an update for the application.
