AWS services that support IPv6
Computers and smart devices use IP addresses to communicate with each other over the internet and other networks. As the internet continues to grow, so does the need for IP addresses. The most common format for IP addresses is IPv4. The new format for IP addresses is IPv6, which provides a larger address space than IPv4.
AWS services support for IPv6 includes support for dual stack configuration (IPv4 and IPv6) or IPv6 only configurations. For example, a virtual private cloud (VPC) is a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources. Within a VPC, you can create subnets that are IPv4 only, dual stack, or IPv6 only.
AWS services support access through public endpoints. Some AWS services also support access using private endpoints powered by AWS PrivateLink. AWS services can support IPv6 through their private endpoints even if they do not support IPv6 through their public endpoints. Endpoints that support IPv6 can respond to DNS queries with AAAA records.
Services that support IPv6
The following table lists the AWS services that provide dual stack support, IPv6 only support, and endpoints that support IPv6. We will update this table as we release additional support for IPv6. For the specifics about how a service supports IPv6, refer to the documentation for the service.

1 An empty cell indicates that the service does not integrate with AWS PrivateLink.
2 This entry represents IPv6 support for AWS AppSync GraphlQL and Event API configuration operations, through the AWS AppSync SDK API. IPv6 is not supported for client connections to customer managed AWS AppSync GraphQL and Event APIs.
3 This entry represents IPv6 support for Grafana workspace management operations, such as updating workspaces and workspace permissions. There is no IPv6 support for general Grafana workspace operations, such as creating and editing dashboards or querying data sources.
4 This entry represents IPv6 support for AWS Ground Station control plane operations, such as calling the AWS Ground Station API. IPv6 is not supported by the AWS Ground Station data plane, so make sure the resources you are delivering data to (such as Amazon EC2 instances) are accessible over IPv4.
5 This entry represents IPv6 support for Amazon IVS control plane operations, such as calling an IVS endpoint.
