# Recovery Controller Setup

Move traffic away from a failing Region or zone on purpose

## What this does

Part of your infrastructure sits in a place that is having a bad day - a whole Region, or one zone inside it. This sets up the controls that let you move traffic somewhere healthy, and the guard rails that stop a bad switch. Reach for it when you want that lever ready before you need it, not during the incident.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Set up failover between Regions
- Add safety rules so a failover cannot go wrong
- Shift traffic out of one Availability Zone

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Recovery Controller Setup

Configuration guidance for AWS Application Recovery Controller, aimed at being able to recover when something regional or zonal goes wrong. It covers routing controls for failover across Regions, and the safety rules that constrain what a routing change is allowed to do.

It also covers the zonal side: shifting traffic out of a single Availability Zone for a load balancer or another resource, and setting up automatic zonal shifting with practice runs so the mechanism is exercised rather than assumed.

It is scoped to this setup work. Broader questions about how to respond across services when a zone is impaired belong elsewhere, and it does not cover Resilience Hub setup or fault injection experiments.
