Amazon CloudFront now supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for Anycast Static IP configurations. Previously, this feature was limited to IPv4 addresses only. This update now provides customers with ability to have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses when using CloudFront Anycast Static IP addresses.
Previously, customers could only use IPv4 addresses when using CloudFront Anycast static IP addresses. With this launch, customers using CloudFront Anycast Static IP addresses receive both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for their workloads. This dual-stack support allows customers to meet IPv6 compliance requirements, future-proof their infrastructure, and serve end users on IPv6-only networks.
CloudFront supports IPv6 for Anycast Static IPs from all edge locations. This excludes Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region, operated by NWCD. Learn more about Anycast Static IPs here and for more information, please refer to the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide. For pricing, please see CloudFront Pricing.
