AWS App Runner is no longer open to new customers. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. For more information, see [AWS App Runner availability change](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apprunner/latest/dg/apprunner-availability-change.html).
# Enabling IPv6 for incoming traffic
If you want your service to receive incoming network traffic from IPv6 addresses, or from both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, choose the **Dual-stack** address type for the endpoint. When you’re creating a new application, you can find this setting under **Configure service** > **Networking** section. The following procedures explain how to enable IPv4 or dual-stack (IPv6 and IPv4) using the App Runner console or the App Runner API.
## Managing dual stack for incoming traffic
Manage the dual-stack address type for incoming traffic using one of the following methods:
+ [App Runner console](#network-dual-stack-manage.console)
+ [App Runner API or AWS CLI](#network-dual-stack-manage.api)
**Note**
The following procedures explain how to manage the network address type for **public** incoming traffic. For information about managing dual-stack or IPv4 address types for **private** endpoints, see [Managing Private endpoints](network-pl-manage.md).
### App Runner console
You can choose dual-stack address type for the incoming internet traffic, when you create a service using the App Runner console, or when you update its configuration later.
**To enable dual-stack address type**
1. When [creating](manage-create.md) or [updating](manage-configure.md) a service, expand the **Networking** section under **Configure service**.
1. Choose **Public endpoint** for **Incoming network traffic**. If you select **Public endpoint**, the **Endpoint IP address type** option opens.
See [Managing Private endpoints](network-pl-manage.md) for a procedure to manage dual-stack or IPv4 address types for private endpoints.
1. Expand **Endpoint IP address type** to view the following IP address types.
+ **IPv4**
+ **Dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6)**
**Note**
If you do not expand **Endpoint IP address type** to make a selection, then App Runner assigns IPv4 as the default configuration.
1. Choose **Dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6)**.
1. Choose **Next** and then **Create & Deploy** if you are creating a service. Else, choose **Save changes** if you are updating a service.
When the service is deployed, your application starts receiving network traffic from both IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints.
**To change the address type**
1. Follow the steps to [update](manage-configure.md) a service and navigate to Networking.
1. Navigate to **Endpoint IP address type** under **Incoming network traffic** and select the required address type.
1. Choose **Save changes.** Your service is updated with your selection.
### App Runner API or AWS CLI
When you call the [CreateService](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apprunner/latest/api/API_CreateService.html) or [UpdateService](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apprunner/latest/api/API_UpdateService.html) App Runner API actions, use the `IpAddressType` member of the `NetworkConfiguration` parameter to specify the address type. The supported values that you can specify are `IPv4` and `DUAL_STACK`. Specify `DUAL_STACK` if you want your service to receive internet traffic from IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints. If you do not specify any value for `IpAddressType`, by default IPv4 is applied.
**Note**
For private endpoint examples, see [App Runner API or AWS CLI](network-pl-manage.md#network-pl-manage.api).
The following is the example to create a service with the dual stack as IP address. This example calls an `input.json` file.
**Example Request to create a service with dual stack support**
```
aws apprunner create-service \
--cli-input-json file://input.json
```
**Example Contents of `input.json`**
```
