Hailstorm 5.0.0 is out with new features and a new distribution format.

New Web User Interface

Hailstorm 5.0.0 features a whole new user interface that is fast and hopefully, intuitive. The Web UI enables you to:

  • Manage multiple performance testing projects.
  • Execute tests across the Amazon Clouds and your own data centers.
  • Generate and store reports.
  • Create low cost clusters for load generation on EC2 with the in-built cost calculator.

Hailstorm 5.0.0 Release

Other Improvements

  • Load generating EC2 instances are always launched in a VPC. By default, a Hailstorm specific VPC is created for easier maintainence by an Ops team.

  • Enhanced calculator for suggesting the maximum number of threads for a selected instance.

Distribution Format

Docker is used to distribute the different components and Docker Compose is used to set up a single command deploy for the Web UI as well as the CLI. Installing Hailstorm has never been easier than this.
