Learn OpenStack With OpenMetal
OpenMetal is a next generation cloud provider on a mission to simplify the adoption of open source and empower individuals. OpenMetal was created to make highly complex open source systems available on demand to increase accessibility for smaller teams.
Now we’re on a mission to help train future OpenStack users!
Choose a Cloud Trial That’s Right for You
Learn Our Cloud
If you are just learning, request an individual cloud trial (up to 8 hours) to experience the cloud platform.
Once you create an account, select “Trial” in the account portal.
Teach Our Cloud
Classes can have access to a
2 week trial to facilitate
hands-on training.
Schedule a complimentary consult to discuss your specific needs.
Request a Proof of Concept
If you are from an organization with unique needs, let our engineering team build a proof of concept.
NOTE: These trials and PoCs are deployed on live cloud servers. Therefore, quantities may be limited, depending on demand. If you are not able to get into a trial immediately, you will be notified as soon as resources become available.
Our OpenStack Education and Training Mission
OpenMetal believes that highly complex open source systems must become more accessible to preserve the heart of open source.
Our mission is to simplify the adoption of open source and empower individuals – by themselves or within teams – to meaningfully contribute to the larger community, fostering innovation that benefits all.
Benefits of Teaching With OpenMetal

Teach OpenStack with our On-Demand Clouds
OpenMetal clouds are built the way OpenStack is intended to be used, on 3 hyper-converged servers. OpenMetal on-demand OpenStack clouds give you root-level access to not just use, but also to administer your cloud. Teach your students to be cloud engineers, not just cloud users.
Instructors can create projects to give each student their own workspace within the cloud. In addition to practice using and administering OpenStack, students can create multiple instances within their projects and practice creating their own OpenStack cloud with nested virtualization. The possibilities are endless!
