<a name="actions.readiness"></a>

**Note**  
The readiness check feature in Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) will no longer be open to new customers starting on April 30, 2026. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. For more information, see [Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) readiness check availability change](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/r53recovery/latest/dg/arc-readiness-availability-change.html).

The following table lists ARC operations that you can use for recovery readiness (readiness check), with links to relevant documentation.

For examples of how to use common recovery readiness API operations with the AWS Command Line Interface, see [Examples of using ARC readiness check API operations with the AWS CLI](getting-started-cli-readiness.md).
