# Resource types and ARN formats in ARC
<a name="recovery-readiness.resource-types-arns"></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).

When you create a resource set in Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC), you specify the type of resource to include in the set and Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) for each of the resources to include. ARC expects a specific ARN format for each resource type. This section lists the resource types supported by ARC and the associated ARN formats for each one.

The specific format depends on the resource. When you provide an ARN, replace the *italicized* text with your resource-specific information. 

**Note**  
Be aware that the ARN format that ARC requires for resources might differ from the ARN format that a service itself requires for its resources. For example, the ARN formats that are described in the **Resource type** sections for each service in the [Service Authorization Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/reference.html) might not include the AWS account ID or other information that ARC needs to support features in the ARC service.
