Hello,
I'm getting intermittent connection refused errors from my cloud service when running a smoke test (~500 requests over ~3 minutes) from a single machine against a fresh cloud service deployment. General usage appears to be fine, it's only when running the test suite that I start seeing issues. I suspect that I'm bumping up against DOS prevention mechanisms, is there any way to verify that?
I've tried scaling the size and number of instances up with no effect and the test runs fine against a single machine on the local network, so I don't think my application is being flooded. The application I'm running is a very basic web application (the current version effectively serves static data) that I'm using as an example to script out autodeployment to Azure. I want to be able to run a test suite against my application deployed to a staging environment (or alternate cloud service) as a verification step before it is deployed to production via an automated process.
Thanks for your help,
~Peter
