Try Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes

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.

TryMOSK is a small but feature-rich MOSK cloud that can host a few production-grade applications. 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.

Please leave your contact details below and we’ll email you within a few days to confirm the schedule for your evaluation and hand over access credentials. If you are looking to validate any specific features and use cases, please describe these in the comments field, and we will suggest how to do this with TryMOSK.

Mirantis does not take any responsibility for the workloads or the data that you host in your TryMOSK cloud.

What You’ll Need

Technical knowledge and skills -  The MOSK evaluation assumes familiarity with Linux, OpenStack, and Kubernetes command line tools, networking fundamentals, virtualization, and cloud technology in general. 

Non-engineers are strongly encouraged to speak with a Mirantis Account Executive, who can arrange a remote demonstration for you.  Also, the Mirantis professional services team stands ready to assist with proof-of-concept deployments, tailored to your specific use case.

Time - TryMOSK will only be available to you for a few days, so to make sure you have a chance to try everything, we recommend that you block several time slots in your calendar to play it without distractions. Also, we recommend visiting the Mirantis documentation portal, it will help you get acquainted with the MOSK architecture and operations before your evaluation period starts.
