What are the hardware resources allocated to my account for load generators?

Every LoadFocus plan includes a set number of load generator machines, and each machine has a fixed size. The generators are AWS machines that create the virtual users (VUs) for your cloud load tests.

Load generators and hardware per plan

Where the generators run

You choose the AWS regions for each test in the test configuration, see Geographical test location. How many locations a single test can use depends on your plan.

When a generator is the limit

A generator that runs near its CPU limit slows your measurements down. See Load generator saturation for how to recognise it.
