Azure Load Testing news

I have been using Azure Load Testing for my Azure Chaos Studio demos for a while now. The service provides an on-demand infrastructure to run your load tests as a managed service.

Recently, the service received some significant updates I like to share with you.

The first update targets the test duration. Previously limited to three hours max, you can now request an increase to 24 hours. That opens up some new testing scenarios.

The second update also increases a previous limit. You can now use up to 400 engine instances per test run. That results into test runs simulating up to 100.000 virtual users.

Last but not least, the preview of the Azure CLI support arrived.
