AWS Directory Service now supports IPv6 connectivity for Managed Microsoft AD and AD Connector. The IPv6 capabilities allow customers to deploy directories with IPv4-only, IPv6-only, or dual-stack configurations, helping organizations meet government mandates and standardize on next-generation Internet protocol.
The IPv6 support helps organizations meet regulatory requirements, including U.S. federal agencies’ mandate to transition to IPv6 by 2025, while eliminating dual-protocol network complexity. This enables organizations to modernize their network infrastructure and comply with evolving security standards without maintaining separate IPv4 and IPv6 network stacks.
Customers can upgrade existing IPv4-only directories to dual-stack by enabling IPv6 in VPC subnets, then adding IPv6 support through the Directory Service Management Console. IPv6 capabilities are available in all AWS Directory Service regions, with IPv6 accessible through Console, CLI, and API.
To learn more, see the AWS Directory Service documentation.
