Testing private/intranet applications using Cloud-based load testing

This post introduces solutions for load testing private/intranet applications that are not publicly accessible. It details five scenarios: using ARM templates to deploy load agents in a VNet, using ARM templates to deploy load agents with static IPs, using cloud load agents on customer infrastructure via a PowerShell script, and using Test Controller/Test Agents for on-premises testing. It provides links to ARM templates and GitHub repositories for deploying load agents in existing or new VNets, and explains how to queue runs using the VSTS portal or Visual Studio Enterprise IDE. It also covers managing self-provisioned agents with a PowerShell script and discusses VM sizing and agent group registration.
