Sequential and parallel VUs

Grafana k6 OSS Support

Hello and thanks for a great tool. I have a question that may be basic but was a bit hard to understand from the documentation.

Is a VU equivalent to a user hitting my endpoint and VUs are executed in parallell and not sequential? So if I run a basic GET request with 10 VUs that means that 10 parallell requests are hitting my endpoint and not 10 sequential requests?

Thanks
Souciance

If you want to run 10 sequential requests then you need to set VU=1 and iteration=10 otherwise VU=10 and iteration=1.
