AWS DataSync now supports IPv6

AWS DataSync announces Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) support for storage resources. With this launch, customers can now use DataSync to connect to storage resources located on premises or in other clouds, using either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

AWS DataSync is a secure, high-speed file transfer service that simplifies moving data over networks. Customers can now use DataSync to transfer data to and from NFS, SMB, and Object Storage servers configured with IPv6 addresses. With dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) support, customers can continue to use DataSync in their environments as they transition their networks from IPv4 to IPv6.

IPv6 support is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is available. To learn more about configuring IPv6 connectivity with AWS DataSync, visit the AWS DataSync User Guide.
