This PR modifies our EKS cluster to use Fargate as a backend rather than EC2 instances. This allows us to not worry about the underlying EC2 VMs and instead just schedule pods into the ether.

TODO:
There is a problem where Fargate uses resource requests to determine the amount of CPU and RAM to give to the container. Icarus doesn't define these, so AWS defaults to the smallest value which is not enough for the penn courses backend. This results in the pod being killed over and over for Out Of Memory problems. Once we migrate to Kittyhawk, we can provide defaults for django, react, and general defaults to solve this problem.
