* Welcome to the Routing Control (Recovery Cluster) API Reference Guide for Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery * Controller. *
** With Route 53 ARC, you can use routing control with extreme reliability to recover applications by rerouting traffic * across Availability Zones or Amazon Web Services Regions. Routing controls are simple on/off switches hosted on a * highly available cluster in Route 53 ARC. A cluster provides a set of five redundant Regional endpoints against which * you can run API calls to get or update the state of routing controls. To implement failover, you set one routing * control On and another one Off, to reroute traffic from one Availability Zone or Amazon Web Services Region to * another. *
*
* Be aware that you must specify a Regional endpoint for a cluster when you work with API cluster operations to get
* or update routing control states in Route 53 ARC. In addition, you must specify the US West (Oregon) Region for
* Route 53 ARC API calls. For example, use the parameter --region us-west-2
with AWS CLI commands. For
* more information, see
* Get and update routing control states using the API in the Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller
* Developer Guide.
*
* This API guide includes information about the API operations for how to get and update routing control states in * Route 53 ARC. To work with routing control in Route 53 ARC, you must first create the required components (clusters, * control panels, and routing controls) using the recovery cluster configuration API. *
** For more information about working with routing control in Route 53 ARC, see the following: *
** Create clusters, control panels, and routing controls by using API operations. For more information, see the Recovery Control Configuration API Reference Guide * for Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller. *
** Learn about the components in recovery control, including clusters, routing controls, and control panels, and how to * work with Route 53 ARC in the Amazon Web Services console. For more information, see * Recovery control components in the Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller Developer Guide. *
** Route 53 ARC also provides readiness checks that continually audit resources to help make sure that your applications * are scaled and ready to handle failover traffic. For more information about the related API operations, see the Recovery Readiness API Reference Guide for Amazon * Route 53 Application Recovery Controller. *
** For more information about creating resilient applications and preparing for recovery readiness with Route 53 ARC, * see the Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller * Developer Guide. *
