You can now connect over IPv6 to your services hosted in Amazon Web Services using Amazon PrivateLink. Amazon PrivateLink is a highly available, scalable technology that enables you to privately connect your VPC to supported Amazon Web Services services, services hosted by other Amazon Web Services accounts (VPC Endpoint Services), third-party SaaS services and supported Amazon Web Services Marketplace partner services.
With this launch, you can now easily enable IPv6 access to your existing IPv4-based or IPv6-based services via Amazon PrivateLink by updating flags in your VPC Endpoint Service and Network Load Balancer (NLB) configurations. If you are a PrivateLink Endpoint owner, you can now access IPv6-enabled PrivateLink services by upgrading your existing IPv4-based endpoints to dual-stack or creating new PrivateLink endpoints in IPv6-only subnets.
IPv6 is supported only for PrivateLink Services and Endpoints of type “Interface” and not for type “Gateway Load Balancer”. It is available in both Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
