Amazon Application Recovery Controller

With Application Recovery Controller, you can use zonal shift, zonal autoshift, and routing control to quickly mitigate impairments for multi-AZ or multi-Region applications. These features support active-active and active-standby applications at any scale.

Application Recovery Controller continually monitors resource quotas, capacity, and configuration, suggesting remediation when changes are made that would affect your ability to fail over to a standby replica. With configurable safety rules, you can prevent operators or automated policies from taking recovery actions that might lead to unexpectedly long recovery times.

With Application Recovery Controller, you can reliably mitigate failures for even your largest and most critical applications. Quickly shift application traffic between multiple isolated environments to improve your application’s availability.

Zonal autoshift allows you to safely and automatically shift your application’s traffic away from an AWS Availability Zone when AWS identifies a potential failure affecting that Availability Zone due to events such as power and networking outages. Zonal autoshift can be used with applications that use Network Load Balancers and Application Load Balancers with cross-zone configuration disabled.

During a failure in even your largest and most complex applications, you can use routing control, zonal shift, and zonal autoshift to quickly shift end-user traffic to restore availability.

Application Recovery Controller provides you with the tools necessary to confidently achieve successful application recovery and fast fail over. Use routing control for multi-Region applications or zonal shift and zonal autoshift for multi-AZ applications to recover from failures impacting your application.

Continually monitor resource quotas, capacity, and configuration for your multi-Region applications and review changes that would affect your ability to fail over to a standby replica.
