The easiest way is to fire up a bunch of VMs. The cheapest way is to pick up an old ThinkStation (or other tower), load it up with 128GB (or more) of ram and install ESXI on it. That's a perfectly good baseline, and you can run about 3

People think it's hard to get to AWS people. It isn't. Ask your rep and they'll try and get you to an architect. You might have to ask support who your rep is.
