How can I do an stress test to my AWS Infrastructure and check different metrics?

Load testing

1. Distributed Load Testing on AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/distributed-load-testing-on-aws/

2. Apache JMeter - an open-source tool designed for load testing and measuring performance. It can be run from an EC2 instance to simulate traffic.

3. Artillery - a modern, powerful, and easy-to-use load-testing toolkit for HTTP, WebSockets, and more.

4. Gatling - a highly capable load testing tool, especially for web applications.

5. Locust - an open-source load testing tool that allows you to define user behavior with Python code and swarm your system with millions of simultaneous users.

Security testing

1. AWS Inspector - assesses applications for vulnerabilities and deviations from best practices. It can be used to scan EC2 instances and Docker images in ECR for vulnerabilities.

2. Penetration Testing

• OWASP ZAP is an open-source tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. It can be used to perform manual penetration testing.
• Burp Suite is a powerful tool for web security testing, offering a range of features for manual and automated testing.
• Metasploit is a penetration testing framework that helps identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your infrastructure.
