Deploy FLIP

A FLIP deployment consists of a Central Hub running in AWS and one or more FLIP nodes running inside participating Trusts. Trust-side nodes can run on Trust-managed infrastructure or inside a Trusted Research Environment (TRE). In every model, the trust polls the Central Hub for tasks — all communication is outbound from the trust, no inbound ports are opened on the trust host.
