After reading this
https://media.fb.com/2016/04/12/instant-articles-now-open/
and needing a bit of time to decompress I decided to try things out.
I went to http://instantarticles.fb.com/ and signed up and was able to activate and now try to publish an instant article all within 15-30 minutes.
Hope to help a few people out on setting this up.
