Costs

You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services used while running this solution.

As of November 2021, the cost for running this solution with the default settings and 8 virtual players in the us-east-1 region (N.Virginia) is approximately $0.52 for 1 hour testing on a C5.large on demand instance and a C5.large spot instance. However, be aware the costs of running bigger tests with more virtual players and larger fleet sizes will scale with the increase in resources, so before testing at scale you should run smaller tests and verify the costs first.
