Creating a safety rule on the console

The steps in this section explain how to create a safety rule on the Route 53 ARC console. The steps are similar whether you create an assertion rule or a gating rule. The differences are noted in the procedure.

To learn about using recovery and routing control API operations with Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller, see Recovery control configuration API operations.

To create a safety rule

1. Open the Route 53 ARC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53recovery/home#/dashboard.

2. Choose Routing control.

3. On the Routing control page, choose a control panel.

4. On the control panel details page, choose Action, and then choose Add safety rule.

5. Choose a type of rule to add: Assertion rule or Gating rule.

6. Choose a name and, optionally, change the wait period.

7. Specify the configuration options for the safety rule.

   • For an assertion rule, specify the asserted routing controls.

   • For a gating rule, specify the gating routing control and target routing controls.

   For both rules, specify the rule configuration by choosing the type and threshold, and whether the rule is inverted.
