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

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) for both EFS APIs and mount targets, enabling customers to manage and mount file systems using IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack clients.

This launch helps customers meet IPv6 compliance requirements and eliminates the need for complex infrastructure to handle IPv6 to IPv4 address translation. Customers can now use IPv6 clients to access EFS APIs through new dual-stack endpoints. Additionally, customers can mount file systems using IPv6 by specifying an IP address type when creating mount targets.

EFS offers IPv6 support in all AWS Commercial and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To get started using IPv6 on EFS, refer to the EFS user guide.
