Abstract
A direct network connection is established between a customer network and a service provider network. Computing resources are then provisioned in the service provider network in an automated fashion. The network connection between the service provider network and the customer network is also configured such that data can be transmitted from one of the computing resources to another one of the computing resources by way of at least a portion of the customer network. Test data is then transmitted from one computing resource to another computing resource by way of at least a portion of the customer network. One or more test results are then generated based upon characteristics of the transmission of the test data from one resource to the other resource by way of the customer network. The resources may be de-provisioned in an automated fashion following completion of the testing.
