Thanks Courage - and I'm getting up to speed on those Mac OS cloud starts. My assumption is that I am: * Following the build instructions but "translated" to one of the cloud instances * Deploying the build into a docker container * Optionally and in the future, could deploy each microservice into its own container for scalability (swarm or something)
Now, when I get to the choice of cloud - the end point I want is a shell account where I can issue the apt-get and git commands I've gotten attracted by the bitnami Kubernetes sandbox. https://bitnami.com/stack/kubernetes-sandbox Is this a reasonable place to start? or should I go with the google cloud kubernetes and can I use the "Your First Cluster" settings of 1.7GB RAM and 1 node, or do I need more nodes and memory? and should I use the local shell or the remote shell?
