Description

You start a zonal shift to temporarily move load balancer traffic away from an Availability Zone in an Amazon Web Services Region, to help your application recover immediately, for example, from a developer's bad code deployment or from an Amazon Web Services infrastructure failure in a single Availability Zone. You can start a zonal shift in ARC only for managed resources in your Amazon Web Services account in an Amazon Web Services Region. Resources are automatically registered with ARC by Amazon Web Services services. Amazon Application Recovery Controller currently supports enabling the following resources for zonal shift and zonal autoshift: When you start a zonal shift, traffic for the resource is no longer routed to the Availability Zone. The zonal shift is created immediately in ARC. However, it can take a short time, typically up to a few minutes, for existing, in-progress connections in the Availability Zone to complete. For more information, see Zonal shift in the Amazon Application Recovery Controller Developer Guide.

Parameters

-AwayFrom <String>
The Availability Zone (for example, use1-az1) that traffic is moved away from for a resource when you start a zonal shift. Until the zonal shift expires or you cancel it, traffic for the resource is instead moved to other Availability Zones in the Amazon Web Services Region.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientConfig <AmazonARCZonalShiftConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.AZS.AmazonARCZonalShiftClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Comment <String>
A comment that you enter about the zonal shift. Only the latest comment is retained; no comment history is maintained. A new comment overwrites any existing comment string.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ExpiresIn <String>
The length of time that you want a zonal shift to be active, which ARC converts to an expiry time (expiration time). Zonal shifts are temporary. You can set a zonal shift to be active initially for up to three days (72 hours).If you want to still keep traffic away from an Availability Zone, you can update the zonal shift and set a new expiration. You can also cancel a zonal shift, before it expires, for example, if you're ready to restore traffic to the Availability Zone.To set a length of time for a zonal shift to be active, specify a whole number, and then one of the following, with no space:
  • A lowercase letter m: To specify that the value is in minutes.
  • A lowercase letter h: To specify that the value is in hours.
For example: 20h means the zonal shift expires in 20 hours. 120m means the zonal shift expires in 120 minutes (2 hours).
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ResourceIdentifier <String>
The identifier for the resource that Amazon Web Services shifts traffic for. 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.StartZonalShiftResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.ARCZonalShift.Model.StartZonalShiftResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
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.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
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.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesStoredCredentials, AWSProfileName
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesRegionToCall
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
