Then you can get started using AWS for load testing with RedLine13.<\/p>\n<p>Signing up is free and you will only pay for the services that are used. As an example, if you do a load test of 50,000 users for an hour the approximate cost is $2.00 and would be charged to your account on Amazon. There is no fee from RedLine13.<\/p>\n<h2>AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Setup Instructions<\/h2>\n<p>There are 2 ways to upload AWS credentials.
