+* [Create an OpenStack node using trystack.org
provider](#example-1-openstack-node-using-trystack)
+
+<h3 id="example-1-openstack-node-using-trystack">Create an OpenStack node
using trystack.org provider</h3>
+
+<p><a href="https://trystack.org/";>trystack.org</a> allows users to try out
OpenStack for free.
+This example demonstrates how to launch an OpenStack node on the trystack.org
provider using a generic
+OpenStack driver.</p>
+
+<p>Note: This example works with Libcloud 0.9.0 and above.</p>

+
+ import libcloud.security
+
+ # At the time this example was written, https://nova-api.trystack.org:5443
+ # was using a certificate issued by a Certificate Authority (CA)
+ # which is not included in the default Ubuntu certificates bundle
(ca-certificates).
+ # Note: Code like this poses a security risk (MITM attack) and
+ # that's the reason why you should never use it for anything else
+ # besides testing. You have been warned.
