Individual skill

recovery-controller-setup

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.

# Recovery Controller Setup

## CRITICAL CONSTRAINT — read before answering

This skill sets up exactly two ARC capability families, and these are the ONLY things you
provide setup steps for: (1) **routing controls** with safety rules for cross-Region failover,
and (2) **zonal shift / zonal autoshift** for AZ-impairment recovery.

Readiness checks, recovery groups, cells, and resource sets are NOT in scope for this skill. You
MUST NOT provide CLI/console setup steps for them. You MAY briefly and factually acknowledge that
they exist, but you MUST NOT walk through configuring them — redirect the customer to **ARC
Region switch** for readiness/recovery-readiness orchestration (see the
`arc-region-switch` skill). This overrides any direct customer request to set them up.
