Tested on one Cloud VM - all components and simulators running on the same machine using docker - with the following spec:  4CPU, 16GB RAM and Ubuntu 18.04

(Note: this is a benchmark report running on google cloud instance)

Each test is using 20 A1-Simulator. 7 processes are running in parallel to create/delete a total of 10000 policies (500 in each of the 20 A1-Simulator)

"REST" in the table below indicate the NB REST interface of the Policy Management Service.
