Create a trigger for a Region switch plan

If you want to automate recovery for your application in Region switch, you can create one or more triggers for your Region switch plan. Triggers automatically start executing a Region switch plan, based on CloudWatch alarm conditions that you choose.

To create a trigger for a Region switch plan

  1. After you create a plan, on the Plan details page, select the Triggers tab.

  2. Choose Manage triggers.

  3. Select the workflows that you want to automate execution for, and then choose Add trigger.

  4. Provide a description for the trigger.

  5. Select a CloudWatch alarm, and then select up to 10 CloudWatch alarms to create the conditions for the trigger.

    When you select more than one condition, all conditions must be met before automated execution of the plan will start.
