Amazon 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, using either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
Amazon 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.
Amazon DataSync IPv6 support is available in all the Amazon Web Services regions, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. For more information, view the documentation.
