Try Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes

Get your hands dirty with Mirantis OpenStack for K8s easily and for free.


Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK) is a multi-tenant private cloud platform that can be deployed, managed, and observed at any scale and location. Setting up an OpenStack cloud may be complicated and expensive, but with TryMOSK, you can experience it without spending any money or time.

It consists of several pre-configured physical servers, running containerized OpenStack, hyper-converged storage, software-defined networking, as well as integrated full-stack life cycle management and observability tools.

TryMOSK is provided for free for a limited period of 3 days, all you need is a business email address and some technical knowledge to get started.
