Making a local MicroK8s environment available externally (Part 5 - Reverse Tunnels)

ngrok

Previously I've used services like ngrok to perform this, and there is a list of other options here. But quite often when using a paid service I've quickly hit on limitations, like a limited number of addresses and not being able to route traffic across multiple ports. Because of this I looked to find another option, and like the rest of this series, I wanted to do it myself.

Google Cloud Platform

There are a huge amount of options here, varying in price and provider, but for this example I'm going to be creating and hosting a VM in Microsoft Azure. If you don't have an account with Azure, you can sign up for a free one and receive $200 credit for 30 days if you just want to test things out, alternatively you can use any other provider like digital ocean, AWS, Google Cloud, the choice is yours.
