Cross-zone enabled Application Load Balancer now supports zonal shift and zonal autoshift
News
AWS has enhanced Application Load Balancers (ALB) with zonal shift and zonal autoshift capabilities for cross-zone enabled load balancers.
- Zonal shift allows manual traffic redirection away from an impaired Availability Zone (AZ)
- Zonal autoshift automatically shifts traffic when AWS identifies potential AZ issues
- Works with cross-zone load balancers to maintain even traffic distribution
- Blocks traffic to targets in the impacted AZ and removes zonal IP from DNS
- Available in all commercial AWS Regions, including AWS GovCloud (US)
To implement, users must enable zonal shift configuration and then trigger shift/autoshift via AWS Application Recovery Controller console or API.
