How to do capacity/load testing of Active-Active azure firewalls

[Ktakne006]

Hi Team,

We have a pair of Checkpoint firewalls based out of Azure configured in active-active set up. Our customer wants to have load/capacity testing of the same to assure if any one firewall goes down, other will be capable to process traffic. I have few concerns regarding the same:

1> How do we perform this testing? can we shutdown one azure instance and see how other behaves?

2> Is there any risk involve? is it recommended to perform this?

3> Any details we need to check before going for this task?

Please if anyone can guide on it.

What template did you deploy this from or what specific instructions did you follow?
Active/Active on cloud usually involves load balancers and auto-scaling.
