Need a Windows VM provider that can start 100~200 VMs within a short time

You could use VMware vCloud OnDemand, use snapchots and deploy them. Could be a bit pricy (~7$/day for 4GB RAM, 2CPU, 10gbps, 64GB SSD and Windows 2012 R2 (with a valid license))

Nope. I'm testing services of my company, but we've already banned EC2 and Azure IP ranges so it's no use to use these VMs and test them.

Why did you ban those IPs?

Hi,

What would be rent period of those instances. We can deploy one instance per 25 seconds on ssd nodes. All deployment can be scripted and generated from one template.

are you sure you need VMs? what is your core test plan? did you actually consider such a test case is not economical and results will not be reproducible or not effective! i would revise what your testing.

@phoenixinter Can you describe the usage in detail to show it is not against our ToS or law?

We can provide such environment with a cloudstack api or over cloudmoneky cli. Deployment process will be handled during several management nodes in a cluster, so the amount is not a problem. Do you need for each instance a public ip address or is it possible over source nat with sharing a few public addresses? Do you require windows licenses or do you have your own or trial?

Try Winity, A+ service that seems bulletproof.

I would drop them a message first to make sure they can accommodate your needs though.

That you cannot think about a legitimate reason doesn't mean it does not exist.

For my case we're working on a system naturally targeted by bots. So EC2 and Azure have been banned naturally since from our own experience, these are the most obvious solutions to deploy bots. But still we need to do stress testing to simulate real user load.

But anyway, you can still feel in a way that you are sure of.

White list the IP assigned to you and run your web app. Then block the IPs again.

This looks like a feasible solution. Thanks MikHo!

LOL, OP type 1 million words, but means nothing. Apparently he wants to do something related both a windows base operation system and an fresh IP which didn't been "used" a lot. Not sure what exactly he is about to do, but stress test is really a far-fetched reason.
