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.
