Zonal shift in Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller

This chapter explains how to use zonal shift in Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller to reliably recover your application from an issue in an Availability Zone. You can start a zonal shift to move traffic for a managed Elastic Load Balancing resource in an AWS Region away from an Availability Zone, for example, because a bad deployment is causing latency issues, or because the Availability Zone is impaired.

In addition to starting a zonal shift in Route 53 ARC, you can also start a zonal shift for a load balancer in the Elastic Load Balancing console. To learn more about starting a zonal shift with Elastic Load Balancing, see Zonal shift in the Elastic Load Balancing User Guide.

All zonal shifts are temporary. You must set an initial expiration when you start a zonal shift, from one hour up to three days (72 hours). But you can update active zonal shifts at any time to set new expirations. The new expiration starts from the time that you set it and has the same constraints.
