# Routing control API operations
<a name="actions.routing-control"></a>

This section includes tables with lists API operations that you can use for setting up and using routing control in Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC), with links to relevant documentation.

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