AWS Health now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Health customers can now use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses, via our new dual-stack endpoints to view operational issues or planned lifecycle events for all accounts and resources in your organization. The existing Health endpoints supporting IPv4 will remain available for backwards compatibility.

The urgency to transition to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is driven by the continued growth of internet, which is exhausting available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses. With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients on Health endpoints, you are able to gradually transition from IPv4 to IPv6 based systems and applications, without needing to switch all over at once. This enables you to meet IPv6 compliance requirements and removes the need for expensive networking equipment to handle the address translation between IPv4 and IPv6.

To learn more on best practices for configuring IPv6 in your environment, visit the whitepaper on IPv6 in AWS. Support for IPv6 on AWS Health is available in all commercial regions. To learn more, please refer to the user guide.
