Starting, updating, or canceling a zonal shift
This section provides procedures for working with zonal shifts, including starting a zonal shift and canceling a zonal shift.
Starting a zonal shift
The steps in this section explain how to start a customer-initiated zonal shift on the Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) console. To work with zonal shift programmatically, see the Zonal Shift API Reference Guide.
In addition to starting a zonal shift in ARC, you can also start a zonal shift for a load balancer in the Elastic Load Balancing console (in supported Regions). For more information, see Zonal shift in the Elastic Load Balancing User Guide.
