About Amazon Application Recovery Controller
Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) enables organizations to enhance the availability and resilience of their applications by providing tools to manage and automate recovery across AWS Regions and Availability Zones (AZs). It offers zonal shift and zonal auto-shift capabilities to swiftly mitigate impairments in multi-AZ applications by redirecting traffic from affected AZs to healthy ones. ARC also includes routing controls for multi-region applications, allowing for reliable traffic failover between AWS Regions. ARC performs continuous readiness checks, monitoring resource quotas, capacity, and configurations to ensure applications are prepared for recovery, with configurable safety rules to prevent unintended actions that could prolong recovery times.
