Performance testing pega web applications hosted on the cloud
Greetings
With regards to performance testing Pega-based web applications hosted on the cloud - is it possible to achieve this using Apache jmeter?
If yes, any critical points we need to be aware of?
Going with information I have seen so far, it is possible to performance test pega-based on-prem applications using jmeter. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The organization is in the process of transitioning to jmeter for performance testing (from IBM RPT).
Thanks. Appreciate your support in this matter.

Thank you sir! Appreciate your feedback.
Yes, you can load test cloud applications. Whether they're on-premise or cloud hosted the applications are accessed with HTTPS protocol. You may need to ensure the servers you run JMeter on have network connectivity to the URL of your cloud applications.
One point to consider is the location of the JMeter servers. For example, if you load test a cloud application hosted in a US-region and your JMeter servers are in a datacenter in another part of the world there will be latency between the servers measured in your JMeter response times. Ideally, the JMeter servers should be located in an area that is representative of where your real users will be.
