k6 with Cloud & Kubernetes

When performance testing, especially for high-traffic applications, a single machine might not generate enough load. This is where distributed load testing comes in!

Instead of running k6 on your local machine, you'll want to distribute your test across multiple machines or leverage cloud infrastructure to simulate massive user loads.

Containers, like those created with Docker, provide a consistent and isolated environment for your applications and tests.

• Isolation: Your k6 test runs in its own environment, free from host system conflicts.
• Portability: A containerized k6 test runs the same way everywhere – on your laptop, a server, or in the cloud.
• Scalability: Easily spin up multiple identical k6 test instances.
