Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now supports Internet Protocol version 6
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now allows customers to make API requests over Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) with dual-stack public endpoints and Amazon PrivateLink interface Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) endpoints.
Kinesis Data Streams allows users to capture, process, and store data streams in real time at any scale. Customers can now leverage IPv6 connectivity for data-streaming workloads. IPv6 support is crucial for organizations facing IPv4 address exhaustion or those required to support IPv6 for compliance reasons. This feature allows for seamless integration of Kinesis Data Streams with IPv6-only networks and devices, simplifying network management and reducing the need for complex IPv4 to IPv6 translations.
IPv6 support is now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. See here for a full listing of regional endpoints. To learn more about using Kinesis Data Streams with interface VPC endpoints, please refer to our Developer Guide.
