Amazon Application Recovery Controller Pricing

You pay for Application Recovery Controller based on two dimensions: readiness checks and clusters. You pay only for what you use and there are no upfront charges to use Application Recovery Controller.

Readiness check: Readiness check audits your resources across Availability Zones or Regions to help you ensure that they are prepared for a recovery. You pay $0.045 per hour for every readiness check that you configured. For example, if you have modeled an application using Application Recovery Controller and have a readiness check for Auto Scaling Groups and another for DynamoDB tables, you will have two readiness checks configured, each charging $0.045. So, your total readiness check bill will be $0.09 per hour.

Cluster: A cluster is a set of redundant regional endpoints against which you can execute API calls to update or get the state of one or more routing controls. You pay $2.5 per hour for every cluster configured. Each cluster (maximum 2) can host multiple routing controls, which you can use to trigger failovers.
