Description

A practice run configuration for zonal autoshift is required when you enable zonal autoshift. A practice run configuration includes specifications for blocked dates and blocked time windows, and for Amazon CloudWatch alarms that you create to use with practice runs. The alarms that you specify are an outcome alarm, to monitor application health during practice runs and, optionally, a blocking alarm, to block practice runs from starting. When a resource has a practice run configuration, ARC starts zonal shifts for the resource weekly, to shift traffic for practice runs. Practice runs help you to ensure that shifting away traffic from an Availability Zone during an autoshift is safe for your application. For more information, see Considerations when you configure zonal autoshift in the Amazon Application Recovery Controller Developer Guide.

Parameters

-AllowedWindow <String[]>
Optionally, you can allow ARC to start practice runs for specific windows of days and times. The format for allowed windows is: DAY:HH:SS-DAY:HH:SS. Keep in mind, when you specify dates, that dates and times for practice runs are in UTC. Also, be aware of potential time adjustments that might be required for daylight saving time differences. Separate multiple allowed windows with spaces.For example, say you want to allow practice runs only on Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 5 p.m. For this scenario, you could set the following recurring days and times as allowed windows, for example: Wed-12:00-Wed:17:00 Fri-12:00-Fri:17:00.The allowedWindows have to start and end on the same day. Windows that span multiple days aren't supported. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAllowedWindows
-BlockedDate <String[]>
Optionally, you can block ARC from starting practice runs for a resource on specific calendar dates.The format for blocked dates is: YYYY-MM-DD. Keep in mind, when you specify dates, that dates and times for practice runs are in UTC. Separate multiple blocked dates with spaces.For example, if you have an application update scheduled to launch on May 1, 2024, and you don't want practice runs to shift traffic away at that time, you could set a blocked date for 2024-05-01. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

AliasesBlockedDates
-BlockedWindow <String[]>
Optionally, you can block ARC from starting practice runs for specific windows of days and times. The format for blocked windows is: DAY:HH:SS-DAY:HH:SS. Keep in mind, when you specify dates, that dates and times for practice runs are in UTC. Also, be aware of potential time adjustments that might be required for daylight saving time differences. Separate multiple blocked windows with spaces.For example, say you run business report summaries three days a week. For this scenario, you could set the following recurring days and times as blocked windows, for example: Mon:00:00-Mon:10:00 Wed-20:30-Wed:21:30 Fri-20:30-Fri:21:30.The blockedWindows have to start and end on the same day. Windows that span multiple days aren't supported. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

-BlockingAlarm <ControlCondition[]>
Blocking alarms for practice runs are optional alarms that you can specify that block practice runs when one or more of the alarms is in an ALARM state. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.

-OutcomeAlarm <ControlCondition[]>
Outcome alarms for practice runs are alarms that you specify that end a practice run when one or more of the alarms is in an ALARM state.Configure one or more of these alarms to monitor the health of your application when traffic is shifted away from an Availability Zone during each practice run. You should configure these alarms to go into an ALARM state if you want to stop a zonal shift, to let traffic for the resource return to the original Availability Zone. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

AliasesOutcomeAlarms
-ResourceIdentifier <String>
The identifier of the resource that Amazon Web Services shifts traffic for with a practice run zonal shift. The identifier is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the resource.Amazon Application Recovery Controller currently supports enabling the following resources for zonal shift and zonal autoshift:
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.ARCZonalShift.Model.CreatePracticeRunConfigurationResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.ARCZonalShift.Model.CreatePracticeRunConfigurationResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.

Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.

Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
