Hosted load testing

Microsoft's Azure Load Testing <https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/app-testing/load-testing/overview-what-is-azure-load-testing>_ is a managed load testing service that lets you execute Locust tests in the cloud.

It is the easiest way to get started with large-scale tests and adds a lot of benefits:

• Scalable and flexible, with no need to set up your own infrastructure.
• Efficient, with no load generator costs while tests are not running.
• Built in reporting and analysis tools, with Azure Application Insights <https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/app/app-insights-overview>_ integration.
• CI/CD support, with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions.
