Which testing option works best for you probably depends on your circumstances. TryStack offers a free-as-in-beer trial service without a time limit on your trial or a vendor pitch attached to it.
If you already have a relationship with a vendor, or think you're to the point where you'd like to begin exploring your vendor options, there are many who offer time-limited trials. But maybe you don't want a time limit, or maybe you're not in a position to be evaluating vendors for an organization, and just want to try out OpenStack and see how it works with no sales pitch. I think TryStack offers the path of least resistance to diving right in and getting started for many people.
And of course you can use a tool like DevStack or a distribution like RDO to test OpenStack on your own hardware, but not everyone has spare hardware sitting around.
It all depends on your situation. Use the solution that works best for you!
Thanks, I've fixed the link.
