Simplify Reference Architecture for Local Minikube Development

Overview

This PR simplifies the reference architecture to focus on local development using Minikube, removing cloud hosting dependencies and streamlining the setup process. The architecture is now optimized as a reference implementation demonstrating best practices for Apollo Federation with Kubernetes, rather than a production-ready deployment template.

Motivation

After discussion, we decided to make the reference architecture usable via Minikube and running everything locally. This change removes the need for cloud hosting (GCP/AWS) since this repository is intended as a reference for best practices, not something customers will clone and deploy directly.
