Technical requirements

We are going to use Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud in this chapter; therefore, it is necessary to have an account for each platform. If you do not have an existing account, you can ask for a trial account for all of these cloud providers.

We’ll also use the files in the ~/The-Ultimate-Docker-Container-Book/sample-solutions/ch18 folder of our lab’s repository from GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/The-Ultimate-Docker-Container-Book/tree/main/sample-solutions/ch18.

Prepare the folder where you will put your own code. For this, first, navigate to the source folder, as follows:

$ cd ~/The-Ultimate-Docker-Container-Book

Then, create a ch18 subfolder and navigate to it, like so:

$ mkdir ch18 & cd ch18
