They are ready-to-use in less than 3 minutes!   By generating realistic load from the internet you can verify how your web application performs from a real end-user's perspective. During a load test in-depth and various measurements are collected at HTTP(S) layer AND at TCP/IP layer. Thus you can distinguish exactly if a stability or performance problem is caused by a network component or caused by the web application itself.   If you already have an Amazon AWS Account you've already got all you need to take advantage of this service. Setting up an Amazon AWS account is very simple.   Our prices are starting at USD 9.50 per hour to simulate 100 virtual cloud-based web users. The renting of load generators in the cloud is also supported by the Proxy Sniffer Free Edition. This enables you to perform professional web load and web stress tests "from the Internet" for a competitive price on a pay-as-you-go base.   How much does it cost? Cloud-based load generators can be rented either per hour or per week.

Note: prices and availability may change without notice.   How does it work? First of all, prepare and verify your load test on your local workstation by using the Proxy Sniffer Free Edition, or by using the Proxy Sniffer Professional Edition. Create an Amazon AWS Account and register your Credit Card Subscribe to one or more Amazon Product Codes listed on www.gcload.com or purchase an Unlimited Exec Agent Short-Time License Now you are ready to use instantly additional load generators in the Amazon Cloud as often as you wish by executing the following steps: On your local workstation, start (launch) the Amazon load generators: Proxy Sniffer Main Menu -> Project Navigator icon -> Network icon -> EC2 icon -> enter Amazon Security Credentials -> Select Region -> Launch Instances -> Select AMI ID -> chose number of instances (number of started load generators). Start your load test from your local workstation as usual - but choose as load generator the Amazon-Prx-Cluster. Acquire your load tests results as usual - this will copy the test results from the Amazon load generators to your local workstation. Don't forget to stop (terminate) the Amazon load generators after you have completed your load tests and after you have acquired all of your load test results : Proxy Sniffer Main Menu -> Project Navigator icon -> Network icon -> EC2 icon -> Select Region -> Terminate Instances. Hint: if you are doing these steps at the first time, we strongly recommend that you make a first test by renting only one load generator which supports only 5 web users. This has the advantage that you lose only one USD per hour in case if somewhat fails or when a technical problem occurs.   Important Note: in case if you are unable to stop (terminate) the Amazon load generators by using the Proxy Sniffer GUI, you have immediately to use Amazon's "AWS Management Console" at http://aws.amazon.com/console (select EC2) to terminate the instances. After login into the "AWS Management Console" you have to select step by step all Amazon locations to verify that all of your instances (load generators) are terminated in all Amazon data centers. We will not refund under any circumstances any costs that you might incur as a consequence of using the Proxy Sniffer load generators in the Amazon data centers, including costs you might have incurred because of a technical fault in the Proxy Sniffer product.   See also FAQs about running Exec Agents (load generators) on Amazon EC2.   Illustrations for Step 1: Start (launch) the Amazon load generators from your local workstation   Illustration for Step 2: Start the load test on the Amazon-Prx-Cluster   Illustration for Step 4: Stop (terminate) the Amazon load generators For further information about generating load from the Amazon Cloud see also: FAQs about running Exec Agents on Amazon EC2 Instances EC2: Stress your Web Application with Unlimited Load Licenses and Prices of the Professional Edition
