wpt_threads parameter for EC2 instances

WebPageTest Private Instances

Hello.

I have been playing with wpt_threads parameter for EC2 instances. It seems to be working fine.

I used:
IE11/Chrome/Firefox/Safari (2014, wptdriver only) - ami-561cb13e

Now, I am very interested to know what configuration inside of the box this parameter affects. I couldn’t get wpt_driver working in multi-threaded mode, when I was trying to install it on my own machine (version 2.15).

Also, is there any chance to RDP to the created EC2 instance? When I try to get Windows password, I receive:

This instance was launched from a custom AMI, or the default password has changed. A password cannot be retrieved for this instance. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it using the Amazon EC2 configuration service. For more information, see Passwords for a Windows Server Instance.

Thank you very much.

RDP access has the administrator password set to “2dialit” (without the quotes). None of the current code really supports multiple-threads mode, it’s from the days before a lot of the video features were implemented.
