 # Template for deploying k3s backed by Flux
 
-Template for creating a [k3s](https://k3s.io/) cluster with [k3sup](https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup) backed by [Flux](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/) and [SOPS](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/guides/mozilla-sops/).
+Template for deploying a single [k3s](https://k3s.io/) cluster with [k3sup](https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup) backed by [Flux](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/) and [SOPS](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/guides/mozilla-sops/).
 
 The purpose here is to showcase how you can deploy an entire Kubernetes cluster and show it off to the world using the [GitOps](https://www.weave.works/blog/what-is-gitops-really) tool [Flux](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/). When completed, your Git repository will be driving the state of your Kubernetes cluster. In addition with the help of the [Flux SOPS integration](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/guides/mozilla-sops/) you'll be able to commit GPG encrypted secrets to your public repo.
