recovery-controller-setup
An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: automation, aws, failover, resilience, routing.
What it does
Configures AWS Application Recovery Controller (ARC) for operational resilience: routing controls with safety rules for cross-Region failover, and zonal shift / zonal autoshift for AZ-impairment recovery. Applies when setting up failover routing, configuring safety rules, enabling zonal shift, or configuring zonal autoshift with practice runs. Also applies when shifting traffic out of a specific Availability Zone (AZ) for an ALB/NLB or other resource. For a broader "an AZ is impaired, what is my response across services" question, see aws-resilience-lifecycle. Does not apply to Resilience Hub setup or FIS experiments.
