Processing HL7 in the Cloud

While Integration Host has long been my preferred program for processing HL7 messages I've only really used it in local settings. Being able to handle workflows in the cloud was something I've wanted to do for a while now so you can imagine my delight when I saw the announcement on their website that their program was now available as a Docker container and that they'd already published a tutorial on getting it up and running on Azure as a container instance. 

 It's stupidly easy to get going and the Azure container instance pulls directly from their Dockerhub repo so there's no mucking around with downloading and uploading files. All in all, I can see this being a popular way to use Integration Host going forward.
