A good starting point would be to build your own test cluster. Jeff Atwood talks about using colocation in the cloud is just someone elses computer Hanselman tells you How to Build a Kubernetes Cluster with ARM Raspberry Pi then run .NET Core on OpenFaas Another approach is to look into where hosted Kuberne[...]

The bad There is a certain level of complexity associated with Kubernetes. Depending on how you get started, it can be a bit of a chore to get a cluster up and running. There are costs associated with having a stable cluster up and running. The good What does Kubernetes give you? It offers an environment for hosting docker services that is more portable between vendors. It allows you to run an environment locally mimicking your production environment.
