AWS AppConfig now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

AWS AppConfig now supports dual-stack endpoints, facilitating connectivity through Internet Protocol Version 6. The existing AWS AppConfig endpoints supporting IPv4 will remain available for backwards compatibility.

The continuous growth of the internet has created an urgent need for IPv6 adoption, as IPv4 address space reaches its limits. Through AWS AppConfig's implementation of dual-stack endpoints, organizations can execute a strategic transition to IPv6 architecture on their own timeline. This approach enables companies to satisfy IPv6 regulatory standards while preserving IPv4 connectivity for systems that have not yet moved to IPv6 capabilities.

IPv6 support for AWS AppConfig resources is available in all AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To get started, use the AWS AppConfig Getting Started Guide, or read more at Understanding IPv6 support for AWS AppConfig.
