Anteon Performance Testing Community Edition

Performance Testing on AWS Private Endpoint​

Let's say we have an internal nginx server running on port 8090 and we want to conduct performance testing without making any ports accessible to the outside world. Fortunately, we have deployed Anteon Performance Testing Community Edition on our AWS account so that we can restrict access to only Anteon EC2 on the Security Groups.

On the target EC2 instance (nginx:8090) security groups, add an Inbound Rule:

  • Type: Custom TCP
  • Port Range: 8090
  • Source: Custom - anteon_aws_marketplace_sg... (Anteon EC2 Instance Security Group)
  • Description: Allow access from Anteon Performance Testing Community Edition

Click the Save rules button.

Get Private IPv4 address on AWS

Copy the target EC2 instance (nginx:8090) private IPv4 Address from the EC2 detail.

Open Anteon Performance Testing Community Edition and Click the New Load Test button.

Target and Debug Modal

Type http://172.31.9.73:8090 as the target and Click Debug button.

Debug Scenario

As you can see, Anteon successfully accessed the private nginx server by sending a GET request. Close the Debug modal and click Next. Then Configure the Load. Click Next and type a Test Name and click the Start Instant Test button.

Test Results

Anteon performed a successful performance testing to a private endpoint with 1200 iterations for 1 minute.
