It looks like that link is for Jmeter as SaaS (software as a service), and if you're willing to pay, it might be a good deal (I've never used them). I can only assume you give them a Jmeter script, and then they run it for you and give you the results. If your question is "how to do it yourself?"

jmeter + amazon ec2 + load balancing (elb)

2010-04-20 Thread William Oberman
Hi all, In case someone else is trying to use Jmeter to test their web environment in amazon's ec2 using the default load balancer (ELB), I've painfully learned some lessons I'd like to pass on in a consolidated form: 1.) The ELB is a name, not IP, and suffers from caching. Make sure you use "-Ds
