 ## About WSO2 APK
 ### 1. What is WSO2 APK?
 
-WSO2 API Platform for Kubernetes (APK) is WSO2's cloud native API management platform to help you build, deploy, and manage APIs in a cloud environment. It is designed to be highly available and able to handle large numbers of API requests without performance degradation, with features like rate limiting, automatic failover and load balancing. For more information, refer the [What is APK?](./what-is-apk.md) section.

 Since we used the `Standard F8s v2` instances (CPU count = 4) for the performance tests and to do a test result comparison, we executed the above-mentioned user counts and payload sizes considering two concurrency levels. We assigned below describing `CPU amount` and `concurrency count` to the Router when applying APK test deployments. In order to match the increased concurrency level, we increased the CPU allocation to the Router also. Below table lists the test scenarios explained in this documentation.
