AWS Parallel Computing Service now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) for Slurm endpoints, enabling customers to run workloads in IPv6-only or dual-stack Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). This helps customers meet IPv6 compliance requirements.

PCS is a managed service that makes it easier for you to run and scale your high performance computing (HPC) workloads and build scientific and engineering models on AWS using Slurm. You can use PCS to build complete, elastic environments that integrate compute, storage, networking, and visualization tools. PCS simplifies cluster operations with managed updates and built-in observability features, helping to remove the burden of maintenance. You can work in a familiar environment, focusing on your research and innovation instead of worrying about infrastructure.

PCS support for IPv6 is available in all AWS Regions where PCS is available. Visit our getting started documentation to start using the feature.
