Disclaimer: I work at Google on Kubernetes. I put that disclaimer at the top of all my posts, but this one truly is HIGHLY biased. The absolute easiest way to do what you describe is to use GKE (Google's hosted Kubernetes). For $0.15/hr, we'll manage everything for you, and you can build out teeny tiny clusters that do everything you need. It's even free for clusters <5 nodes. Start it up, use a sample app from this directory (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/examples https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/example...) and you're done.
