Getting and updating routing control states in the Amazon Web Services Management Console

You can get and update routing control states in the Amazon Web Services Management Console. Be aware, though, that you can't choose different Regional cluster endpoints in the console. That is, there isn't a process for choosing and rotating through cluster endpoints in the console as you can do by using the Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) API. In addition, the console is not highly available while the ARC data plane offers extreme reliability. For these reasons, we recommend that you use the ARC API to get and update routing control states for production operations.

For more recommendations about using ARC for failover, see Best practices for routing control in ARC.
