@mstoykov I flagged you for review because you are the one who made issue #826 . You don't need to review the other content edits, only just the two sections in headed I want to make sure that the intro and the scripts are appropriate and something that can be conveniently copied and run locally. |

The comment is accurate for hte picture but not the test above. I am not certain there needs to be a picture with VUs here - the important part is that the required target is hit. Not certain if there is a good graph for that 🤷

| Note, the test starts with a period of 1 minute of low load, a quick spike to very high load, followed by a recovery period of low load. | ||

Unfortunately k6 at this point (IIRC) reports all the allocated VUs as constnatly in use even if thre are doesn't require it. So if you have allocated 1000 VUs and need 1 to do 1 IPS it will still report 1000. Mostly because it in practice reports how many are active more then anything else. So this graph is ... misleading and I am not certain is needed.
