What is a good work flow to use in order to minimize cost?

@tensoralex, that sounds like a good idea. Do you happen to know of any resources that will set me up as smoothly as possible? I’ve only heard of Dockers but never actually used it.

EDIT: I think Ready to use cross-platform environment for the course is a good resource for that.

@msp, I have studied quite a bit of economics and have a decent idea of how to go about thinking about costs =p How did you go about setting up your own box?

Thanks!
