Where can I cheaply raise 1000-100k virtual machines for load tests?

Question

Network administration

It is necessary to carry out load testing with a very large number of virtual machines from different cities of Europe / Asia. The browser itself must go to a certain url, establish a ws connection with the server and send some data over this connection. This is necessary to assess the capacity of a future permanent server, collect server operation statistics, adjust more or less real hardware to this, and generally make sure that the server does not fall from such a load for an hour / day

Answer 1

You go with your passport and $ to the data center and negotiate. It is possible for example to a hoster. But without 100% prepayment and personal presence, for example, I would not contact you.

Answer 2

IMHO this is nonsense! It is necessary not to test, but to create a fail-safe scalable cluster.
Further, with a lack of power, you can add at least 100,500 servers.
And to raise 100K virtual machines for a test, provided that the virtual machine costs $ 1, you already need $ 100K.

Answer 3

There is such a service

Answer 4

I agree with Developer - I recommend services like Loadimpact, Blazemeter, etc.
As for virtual machines - AWS, GCP - there is per-minute-per-second billing, but in any case there will be a lot of fuss.

Without a headless browser, but also ok? 100,000 requests per second easily issues. But if you want to "kill" someone, then after the first report on the lambda's ip, your account will be banned to find out the reasons.
