Creating and updating readiness checks in Route 53 ARC

This section provides procedures for readiness checks and resource sets, including creating, updating, and deleting these resources.

Creating and updating a readiness check

The steps in this section explain how to create a readiness check on the Route 53 ARC console. To learn about using recovery readiness API operations with Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller, see Readiness check API operations.

To update a readiness check, you can edit the resource set for the readiness check, to add or remove resources or to change the readiness scope for a resource.

To create a readiness check

  1. Open the Route 53 ARC console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/route53recovery/home#/dashboard.

  2. Choose Readiness check.

  3. On the Readiness page, choose Create, and then choose a Readiness check.

  4. Enter a name for your readiness check, choose the resource type that you want to check, and then choose Next.

  5. Add a resource set for your readiness check. A resource set is a group of resources of the same type in different replicas. Choose one of the following:

    • Create a readiness check with resources in a resource set that you've already created.

    • Create a new resource set.

    If you choose to create a new resource set, enter a name for it and choose Add.

  6. Copy and paste Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) one by one for each resource that you want to include in the set, and then choose Next.

    Tip

    For examples and more information about the ARN format that Route 53 ARC expects for each resource type, see Resource types and ARN formats in Route 53 ARC.

  7. If you like, view the readiness rules that will be used when Route 53 ARC checks the type of resource you included in this readiness check. Then choose Next.

  8. (Optional) Under Recovery group name, choose a recovery group to associate the readiness check with and then, for each resource ARN, choose a cell (Region or Availability Zone) from the drop-down menu that the resource is in. If it's an application-level resource, like a DNS routing policy, choose global resource (no cell).

    This specifies the readiness scopes for the resources in the readiness check.

    Important

    Although this step is optional, readiness scopes must be added to get summary readiness information for your recovery group and cells. If you skip this step and don't associate the readiness check with your recovery group's resources by choosing readiness scopes here, Route 53 ARC cannot return summary readiness information for the recovery group or cells.

  9. Choose Next.

  10. Review the information on the confirmation page, and then choose Create readiness check.

To delete a readiness check

  1. Open the Route 53 ARC console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/route53recovery/home#/dashboard.

  2. Choose Readiness check.

  3. Choose a readiness check, and under Actions, choose Delete.

Creating and editing resource sets

Typically, you create a resource set as part of creating a readiness check, but you can create a resource set separately as well. You can also edit a resource set to add or remove resources. The steps in this section explain how to create or edit a resource set on the Route 53 ARC console. To learn about using recovery readiness API operations with Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller, see Readiness check API operations.

To create a resource set

  1. Open the Route 53 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/home.

  2. Under Application Recovery Controller, choose Resource sets.

  3. Choose Create.

  4. Enter a name for the resource set, and then choose the type of resource to include in the set.

  5. Choose Add, and then enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the resource to add to the set.

  6. After you've finished adding resources, choose Create resource set.

To edit a resource set

  1. Open the Route 53 ARC console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/route53recovery/home#/dashboard.

  2. Choose Readiness check.

  3. Under Resource sets, choose Action, and then choose Edit.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • To remove a resource from the set, choose Remove.

    • To add a resource to the set, choose Add, and then enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the resource.

  5. You can also edit the readiness scope for the resource, to associate the resource with a different cell for the readiness check.

  6. Choose Save.
