I use CAP for distributed jmeter or Gatling performance testing in AWS EC2. Getting Started --------------- Install the gem ``` gem install simple_perf ``` Create a file **~/.simple_deploy.yml** and include within it: ``` environments: preprod_us_east_1: access_key: XXX secret_key: yyy region: us-east-1 user: ec2-user aws_keypair: EC2 Key Pair Name local_pem: ~/keypair.pem ``` Commands -------- For a list of commands, run simple_perf -h. To get more information about each subcommand, append a -h after the subcommand. For example: **simple_perf status -h**.
