/AWS1/CL_AZS=>CREATEPRACTICERUNCONF()

About CreatePracticeRunConfiguration

A practice run configuration for zonal autoshift is required when you enable zonal autoshift. A practice run configuration includes specifications for blocked dates and blocked time windows, and for Amazon CloudWatch alarms that you create to use with practice runs. The alarms that you specify are an outcome alarm, to monitor application health during practice runs and, optionally, a blocking alarm, to block practice runs from starting.

For more information, see Considerations when you configure zonal autoshift in the Amazon Route 53 Application Recovery Controller Developer Guide.

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IV_RESOURCEIDENTIFIER TYPE /AWS1/AZSRESOURCEIDENTIFIER /AWS1/AZSRESOURCEIDENTIFIER

The identifier of the resource to shift away traffic for when a practice run starts a zonal shift. The identifier is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the resource.

At this time, supported resources are Network Load Balancers and Application Load Balancers with cross-zone load balancing turned off.

IT_OUTCOMEALARMS TYPE /AWS1/CL_AZSCONTROLCONDITION=>TT_CONTROLCONDITIONS TT_CONTROLCONDITIONS

The outcome alarm for practice runs is a required Amazon CloudWatch alarm that you specify that ends a practice run when the alarm is in an ALARM state.

Configure the alarm to monitor the health of your application when traffic is shifted away from an Availability Zone during each weekly practice run. You should configure the alarm to go into an ALARM state if your application is impacted by the zonal shift, and you want to stop the zonal shift, to let traffic for the resource return to the Availability Zone.

Optional arguments:

IT_BLOCKEDWINDOWS TYPE /AWS1/CL_AZSBLOCKEDWINDOWS_W=>TT_BLOCKEDWINDOWS TT_BLOCKEDWINDOWS

Optionally, you can block Route 53 ARC from starting practice runs for specific windows of days and times.

The format for blocked windows is: DAY:HH:SS-DAY:HH:SS. Keep in mind, when you specify dates, that dates and times for practice runs are in UTC. Also, be aware of potential time adjustments that might be required for daylight saving time differences. Separate multiple blocked windows with spaces.

For example, say you run business report summaries three days a week. For this scenario, you might set the following recurring days and times as blocked windows, for example: MON-20:30-21:30 WED-20:30-21:30 FRI-20:30-21:30.

IT_BLOCKEDDATES TYPE /AWS1/CL_AZSBLOCKEDDATES_W=>TT_BLOCKEDDATES TT_BLOCKEDDATES

Optionally, you can block Route 53 ARC from starting practice runs for a resource on specific calendar dates.

The format for blocked dates is: YYYY-MM-DD. Keep in mind, when you specify dates, that dates and times for practice runs are in UTC. Separate multiple blocked dates with spaces.

For example, if you have an application update scheduled to launch on May 1, 2024, and you don't want practice runs to shift traffic away at that time, you could set a blocked date for 2024-05-01.

IT_BLOCKINGALARMS TYPE /AWS1/CL_AZSCONTROLCONDITION=>TT_CONTROLCONDITIONS TT_CONTROLCONDITIONS

An Amazon CloudWatch alarm that you can specify for zonal autoshift practice runs. This alarm blocks Route 53 ARC from starting practice run zonal shifts, and ends a practice run that's in progress, when the alarm is in an ALARM state.
