Stress-Test tools in Azure to optimize your reliability
summary
Shows how to run real load and chaos tests in Azure using Azure Load Testing (JMeter/Locust exports, CI/CD task) and Chaos Studio (VMs, AKS, App Services, Key Vault, Cosmos DB). Demonstrates a CPU spike test — 95% CPU for 5 minutes — and live monitoring via Azure Monitor/Log Analytics. Describes automation: export JMeter/Locust, pipeline triggers, and large experiments like 50 steps and 500 actions that run nightly to validate failover and SLOs.
