Application Recovery Controller Region switch is now available in Asia Pacific (New Zealand)

Posted on: Sep 24, 2025

Region switch in Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) is now available in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region. Region switch allows you to orchestrate the specific steps to operate your cross-AWS account application resources out of another AWS Region. It provides dashboards for real-time visibility into the recovery process and gathers data from across resources and accounts required for reporting to regulators and compliance teams. Region switch supports failover and failback for active/passive multi-Region approaches, and shift-away and return for active/active multi-Region approaches. When you create a Region switch plan, it is replicated to all the Regions your application operates in. This removes dependencies on the Region you are leaving for your recovery.

To get started, build a Region switch plan using the ARC console, API, or CLI. To learn more, visit the ARC Region switch documentation and pricing page
