Amazon SQS expands IPv6 support to VPC endpoints in Amazon Web Services China Regions
Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) now allows customers to make API requests over Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) through Amazon PrivateLink with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints. This launch extends IPv6 compatibility, previously available only for public endpoints, to VPC endpoints in Amazon Web Services China Regions.
Amazon SQS is a fully managed message queuing service that enables decoupling and scaling of distributed systems, microservices, and serverless applications. SQS Customers can now leverage IPv6 connectivity for messaging workloads within their Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients on SQS VPC endpoints, customers can gradually transition from IPv4 to IPv6-based systems and applications without needing to switch all systems at once.
IPv6 support for VPC endpoints is now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. For more information on using Amazon SQS with interface VPC endpoints, please refer to our Developer Guide. To learn more about Amazon PrivateLink, see accessing services through Amazon PrivateLink.
