Amazon Application Recovery Controller zonal shift and zonal autoshift extends support for two new multi-AZ resources

The article summarizes the expansion of Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) zonal shift and zonal autoshift capabilities to support Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Network Load Balancers (NLB) with cross-zone configuration enabled.

Specifically, the article covers:

• ARC zonal shift helps customers quickly recover an unhealthy application in an Availability Zone (AZ) and reduce impact due to events like power outages or hardware/software failures.
• ARC zonal autoshift automatically shifts an application's traffic away from an AZ when AWS identifies a potential failure affecting that AZ.
• NLB customers can now shift traffic away from an AZ in the event of a failure, by blocking traffic to targets in the impaired AZ and removing the zonal IP from DNS responses.
• Amazon EKS customers can now shift traffic away from an AZ in the event of a failure, by shifting in-cluster traffic to healthy AZs and ensuring Pods aren't scheduled in the impaired AZ.
• Customers can start a zonal shift or enable zonal autoshift for EKS and NLB resources using the ARC console, with no additional charge.
