* `testnet-perf` - private beta channel testnet with clients trying to flood the network
with transactions until failure. Runs 24/7
* `testnet-master` - private edge channel testnet with clients trying to flood the network

## Deploy process
They are deployed with the `ci/testnet-deploy.sh` script. There is a scheduled buildkite job which runs to do the deploy,
look at `testnet-deploy` to see the agent which ran it and the logs. There is also a manual job to do the deploy manually..
Validators are selected based on their machine name and everyone gets the binaries installed from snap.
They are deployed with the `ci/testnet-manager.sh` script through a list of [scheduled
buildkite jobs](https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management/settings/schedules).
Each testnet can be manually manipulated from buildkite as well. The `-perf`
testnets use a release tarball while the non`-perf` builds use the snap build
(we've observed that the snap build runs slower than a tarball but this has yet
to be root caused).

can run your own testnet using the scripts in the `net/` directory.
