AWS – Amazon Kinesis Video Streams now supports IPv6 for Streams capability

Today, AWS announces Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addressing support for Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS). With this enhancement, KVS now offers dual-stack endpoints that let customers use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to stream video from millions of devices. This means that existing IPv4 implementations continue to work seamlessly while gaining the benefits of IPv6 connectivity.

As customers increasingly encounter IPv4 address exhaustion in their private networks, this enhancement delivers much-needed flexibility. Organizations can now seamlessly stream videos using IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack clients. This advancement simplifies IPv6-based system transitions, ensures compliance requirements are met, and eliminates dependency on costly address translation equipment.

IPv6 support is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon KVS is available except Ap-Southeast-1 and GovCloud regions . To learn more about Amazon KVS, refer to the developer guide.
