Recognition

Amazon Application Recovery Controller

Recovery readiness/failover context; no direct numbered skill names it.

Key points

  • Application Recovery Controller supports recovery-readiness and failover context without receiving standalone skill depth.

Best-known use cases

  • D2.1, D2.2, and D5.1: operate a named readiness or failover control inside an existing recovery design.

What candidates often confuse it with

  • Application Recovery Controller concerns recovery coordination; Route 53 health, load-balancer target health, and workload capacity remain separate evidence layers.

Key takeaway

Keep ARC coverage tied to the stated recovery operation rather than inventing a broader architecture exercise.
