AWS – Amazon Location Service now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

Amazon Location Service announces the availability of dual-stack endpoints, enabling customers to connect using Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), or dual-stack clients. These dual-stack endpoints are accessible through a new AWS DNS domain name, while existing Amazon Location Service endpoints remain available to ensure backward compatibility.

The transition to IPv6 is essential due to the ongoing expansion of the internet, which is rapidly depleting available IPv4 addresses. With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 on Amazon Location Service endpoints, customers can gradually migrate their systems and applications to IPv6-based architectures as needed. This flexibility allows businesses to meet IPv6 compliance requirements while maintaining uninterrupted connectivity through IPv4 for those not yet utilizing IPv6.

IPv6 support for Amazon Location Service is now available in all regions where the service is generally available (GA).

See here for a full list of supported endpoints and instructions on how to access them via AWS SDKs and CLI. To learn more about Amazon Location Service, please visit Amazon Location Service Product Page and developer guide.
