Running Locust on Azure

Or just run azure-deploy.sh and follow instructions. Is that easy :)

A VNet integrated deployment is available via azure-vnet-deploy.sh

You can try it right away, even if you don't have any API you can call, using JSONPlaceholder. To avoid flooding JSONPlaceholder with tons of request, the default values are set to create 1 locust client that will simulate 1 user only. The user will send a GET or a POST request every 5 to 10 seconds.

In case you are editing .sh files in Windows, you might encounter error at runtime in WSL because of the default CRLF line ending applied. You can fix existing files with command sed -i.bak 's/\r$//' azure-deploy.sh see this discussion and if you are using VS Code you can configure line ending
