Amazon Application Recovery Controller zonal shift and zonal autoshift extend support for EC2 Auto Scaling

The article discusses the expansion of Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) zonal shift and zonal autoshift capabilities to support EC2 Auto Scaling.

Specifically, the article covers:

• ARC zonal shift helps quickly recover an unhealthy application in an Availability Zone (AZ) and reduce downtime due to events like power outages or hardware/software failures.
• ARC zonal autoshift automatically shifts application traffic away from an AZ when AWS identifies a potential failure affecting that AZ.
• EC2 Auto Scaling customers can now shift traffic away from a failing AZ, by stopping dynamic scale-in, launching new EC2 instances in healthy AZs, and optionally disabling health checks in the impaired AZ.
• Customers can enable their EC2 Auto Scaling Groups for zonal shift and trigger a zonal shift or enable autoshift via the ARC console or API.
• There is no additional charge for using these features, which are available in select AWS regions.
