# Terraform Consul Load Testing
|
|
Packer will output AMI IDs when it completes - save these AMI IDs as Terraform will require them later.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
==> Builds finished. The artifacts of successful builds are:
|
|
--> amazon-ebs: AMIs were created:
|
|
|
|
us-east-1: ami-19601070
|
|
```
|
|
## Consul AMI:
|
|
|
|
Within the `consul-ami/` directory
|
|
1) Retrieve your [Datadog API key]((https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/api-app-keys/#api-keys)), set this as an environment variable, ex: `export DD_API_KEY=$YOURDDAPIKEYHERE`
|
|
2) Set the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION for Packer, ex: `export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1`
|
|
3) Run `packer build consul.json`.
|
|
|
|
For additional customization you can add [tags](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/tagging/assigning_tags/?tab=noncontainerizedenvironments) within the `scripts/datadog.yaml` file. An example of a tag could be `"consul_version" : "consulent_175"`. These tags are searchable through the datadog dashboard. Another form of customization is changing the datacenter tag within `scripts/telemetry.json`, however it is defaulted to `us-east-1`.

## Load Test AMI
|
|
|
|
Within the `loadtest-ami/` directory
|
|
|
|
1) Set the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION for Packer, ex: `export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1`
|
|
2) Run the command `packer build loadtest.json`
|
|
|
|
The script that k6 runs is found within `scripts/loadtest.js`. This script can be updated to send requests to more Consul endpoints. For additional information on k6 please check out their [guides](https://k6.io/docs/getting-started/running-k6).
