AWS – Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) now supports IPv6 with dual-stack endpoints

Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) through new dual-stack endpoints that enable both IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity. This enhancement provides customers with a vastly expanded address space while maintaining compatibility with existing IPv4-based applications.

Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is a scalable, highly available, and managed Apache Cassandra–compatible database service. Amazon Keyspaces is serverless, so you pay for only the resources that you use and you can build applications that serve thousands of requests per second with virtually unlimited throughput and storage.

The dual-stack endpoints functionality allows you to gradually transition your applications from IPv4 to IPv6 without disruption, enabling safer migration paths for your critical database services. IPv6 support is also available through PrivateLink interface Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints, allowing you to access Amazon Keyspaces privately without traversing the public internet.

IPv6 support for Amazon Keyspaces is now available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon Keyspaces is offered, at no additional cost. To learn more about IPv6 support on Keyspaces, visit the Amazon Keyspaces documentation page.
