Deploy a locust.io stress test cluster on AWS based on CoreOS/Docker
This is going to create more-or-less a distributed denial-of-service attack in a fancy package and, therefore, if you point target_host at any server you don’t own you will behaving unethically, have your Amazon Web Services account locked-out, and be liable in a court of law for any downtime you cause.
Also keep in mind AWS Pricing for used EC2 instances will be applied.
You have been warned.
- Terraform
- AWS Account
Create a file named terraform.tfvars and specify custom variables. Example:
ssh_key_name = "<aws-ssh-key-name>"
access_key = "<aws-access-key>"
secret_key = "<aws-secret-key>"
target_host = "http://example.com"
instance_type = "t2.small"
num_slaves = 3
...
Refer to variables.tf to know what variables are available for overwrite.
- modify target host via tf variable in terraform.tfvars
- modify test.py
- update by running
make prepare-update && make apply(taints necessary tf resources, re-uploads test file)
