Who is giving this stuff away for free?
We owe a special thanks to the CityNetwork Team for allowing us to host EST Selfservice on their OpenStack powered public cloud and to Ericsson Software Technology for their contributions and expertise in DevOps and GitOps. But the EST Kraken team and all their members are ultimately responsible for enabling and building EST Selfservice.

How long does my open source technology deployment last?
When you spin up a Kubernetes instance, you will get access to the platform in minutes. The lab can be up from one to seven days depending on your needs.
