Introduction

AWS Resilience Hub helps teams assess and strengthen the resilience posture of workloads on AWS. You describe an application from CloudFormation stacks, Terraform state files, resource groups or EKS workloads, set resilience targets, and run assessments.

Assessments flag single points of failure and gaps against recovery objectives and recommend fixes, such as alarms, standard operating procedures and tests. The next generation of the service, launched in May 2026 according to the pricing page, adds GenAI-driven failure mode assessments across single points of failure, excessive load, excessive latency, misconfiguration and shared fate, plus recommended resilience tests run through AWS Fault Injection Service.

In the quality loop it is a production readiness check for AWS workloads.

Features

  1. Application modelling: From CloudFormation, Terraform, tags or EKS.
  2. Resilience policies: Targets for recovery objectives.
  3. Failure mode assessments: Five failure categories (next generation).
  4. Recommendations: Alarms, SOPs and tests.
  5. FIS tests: Run recommended fault injection tests.
  6. Dependency discovery: Optional automated assessment add-on.

Pros

  1. Native to AWS: Uses your existing AWS resources and IAM.

Cons

  1. AWS only: No multi-cloud support.
  2. Cost per service: Monthly charges per assessed service.
  3. Recommendations need action: Value depends on follow-through.
  1. Open Resilience Hub in the AWS console and add a service from a CloudFormation stack or Terraform state.
  2. Run a failure mode assessment.
  3. Review recommendations and launch a recommended FIS test.

Pricing

For the original service, the first 3 assessed applications are free for 6 months, then $15 per application per month. The next generation charges $15 per service per month (including two failure mode assessments for up to 150 resources), $0.10 per additional assessed resource, an optional $10 per service per month for automated dependency assessment, and FIS tests at $0.10 per action-minute.

  1. AWS-hosted teams with formal recovery objectives.
  2. SRE teams preparing readiness reviews.

Conclusion

Resilience Hub gives AWS teams a structured view of resilience gaps and tests to close them.

Budget for per-service charges and FIS action minutes.
