Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) endpoints and quotas - AWS General Reference

Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) endpoints and quotas

To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. AWS services offer the following endpoint types in some or all of the AWS Regions that the service supports: IPv4 endpoints, dual-stack endpoints, and FIPS endpoints. Some services provide global endpoints. For more information, see AWS service endpoints.

Service quotas, also referred to as limits, are the maximum number of service resources or operations for your AWS account. For more information, see AWS service quotas.

The following are the service endpoints and service quotas for this service.

Service endpoints

Zonal shift

Zonal shift in ARC is available in all AWS Regions. The routing control, readiness check, and zonal autoshift capabilities of the ARC service are not available in the Beijing and Ningxia Regions nor in AWS GovCloud (US).

For the ARC Zonal Shift API, including API operations for zonal autoshift in the Regions that include the zonal autoshift capability, use the following endpoints.

Regional features

When you use the AWS CLI or SDKs to submit requests with ARC Recovery Readiness API (for readiness checks), Recovery Control Configuration API or Recovery Cluster API (for routing control), you must specify the AWS Region as us-west-2.

For the ARC Recovery Readiness API (for readiness checks) or Recovery Control Configuration API, use the following endpoints, respectively.

Region Name Region Endpoint Protocol
US West (Oregon) Region us-west-2 route53-recovery-readiness.amazonaws.com HTTPS
US West (Oregon) Region us-west-2 route53-recovery-control-config.amazonaws.com HTTPS

For the ARC Recovery Cluster API, in addition to specifying the Region as us-west-2, you also must specify one of your five Regional cluster endpoints. The endpoint that you specify must target the ARC cluster that hosts the routing controls that you want to get or update the state for.

ARC creates endpoints for each cluster in the following five Regions: US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1), Europe (Ireland) (eu-west-1), US West (Oregon) (us-west-2), Asia Pacific (Tokyo) (ap-northeast-1), and Asia Pacific (Sydney) (ap-southeast-2). Routing Controls provide five regional endpoints to ensure high availability, even in the face of failures. To achieve their full resilience, it's important to have retry logic that can use all five endpoints as necessary. To learn more, see Get and update routing control states using the API and Best practices for Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) in the Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller Developer Guide.

The following are examples of the Regional cluster endpoints in ARC.

Endpoint Region
https://aaaaaaaa.route53-recovery-cluster.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com eu-west-1
https://bbbbbbb.route53-recovery-cluster.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com ap-northeast-1
https://ccccccc.route53-recovery-cluster.us-west-2.amazonaws.com us-west-2
https://ddddddd.route53-recovery-cluster.us-east-1.amazonaws.com us-east-1
https://eeeeeee.route53-recovery-cluster.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com ap-southeast-2
