That means you can save even more by load testing with Redline13. And Redline13 was already the least expensive way to load test.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_1346182193514559923gmail-ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"m_1346182193514559923gmail-ac-designer-marked-selection m_1346182193514559923gmail-ac-designer-copy\">On the AWS Keys page, find the column for \u201cShutdown Policy\u201d. That specifies how long after a test that servers should remain running. You can set that as low as 5 minutes. <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Redline13-Shutdown-Policy-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4418 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Redline13-Shutdown-Policy-1.png\" alt=\"Server Shutdown Policy\" width=\"602\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Redline13-Shutdown-Policy-1.png 602w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Redline13-Shutdown-Policy-1-300x110.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Redline13-Shutdown-Policy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4417 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Redline13-Shutdown-Policy.png\" alt=\"Shutdown Policy Settings\" width=\"135\" height=\"229\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAs the screenshot says, remember that if you are running multiple tests in a row, it might be better to leave them running. It may be more economical to leave servers running if you expect to run multiple tests fairly close together. When a server starts up, there is some time taken for the server to boot and all the packages to be installed. When servers are re-used that setup time is much shorter. You have options to save more with Redline13 load testing.<\/p>\n<h3>Open Architecture<\/h3>\n<p>RedLine13\u2019s open <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/open-architecture-with-aws\/\">architecture<\/a> provides an easy, accessible, and cheap means for load testing.

We know that organizations that load test are under pressure to load test more for less cost.
