Reliability and Business Continuity
An application runs behind an Application Load Balancer across three Availability Zones. Error rates are high only for targets in one zone because of a degraded dependency there. A CloudOps engineer must stop sending traffic to that zone immediately, without changing the Auto Scaling group or DNS records. What should the engineer do?
Delete the Route 53 record that points to the load balancer until it recovers.
Start an Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) zonal shift for the load balancer away from the impaired zone.
Delete the subnets in the impaired zone so that no targets run there.
Turn off cross-zone load balancing on the Application Load Balancer.
B
An ARC zonal shift moves load balancer traffic away from one Availability Zone for a duration you set, then returns it automatically when the shift expires, with no infrastructure changes. Removing the DNS record would take the whole application offline, deleting subnets is destructive, and cross-zone settings do not stop traffic to a zone.
