Run test_service

$ docker build test_service
<our_image_id>
$ docker run -e ETCD_HOST=${ETCD_HOST} -e ETCD_PORT=${ETCD_PORT} --name test_service <our_image_id>

Run etcd_client

$ docker build etcd_client
<our_image_id>
$ docker run -e ETCD_HOST=${ETCD_HOST} -e ETCD_PORT=${ETCD_PORT} --name go_client <our_image_id>
