It is always best to configure an AWS instance as the load test tool client/host.
The actual Load Test broker and agents run in the Load Test environment set up by rfkelly. See the following wiki:
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Services/FxATestEnvironments#FxA_Load_Test_Environment

Pick a Region then Create Instance > Launch Instance
Follow the prompts to create a basic, RHEL-flavored instance
Use of the QA/Dev key pairs that have been set up for this:
- US East Key Pair: QA-Dev-Share (created by jbonacci) for general use
- US West Key Pair: QA-dev-share (created by RaFromBRC) for general use
Once the instance is running, log in as "ec2-user"

$ sudo yum -y update
and/or
$ sudo yum -y upgrade
