The following guide will walk you through creating a bitcoin full node within GKE (Google Container Engine).
By default Bitcoin ABC is used, however this can be swapped for any other node quite easily.
If you wish to run another version of bitcoind, just change the image reference in bitcoin-deployment.yml. There are tons of images available on the Docker Hub. Better yet, build your own. =)
