Amazon App Mesh now supports IPv6 allowing customers to support workloads running in IPv6 networks and to invoke App Mesh APIs over IPv6. This helps customers to meet IPv6 compliance requirements, and removes the need for expensive networking equipment to handle address translation between IPv4 and IPv6.
To use this new capability, configure your applications to use Amazon App Mesh new dual-stack endpoints which support both IPv4 and IPv6. When you make a request to a dual-stack App Mesh endpoint, the endpoint resolves to an IPv6 or an IPv4 address, depending on the protocol used by your network and client.
