Starting today, Amazon Route 53 supports dual stack for the Route 53 DNS service API endpoint at route53.global.api.aws, enabling you to connect from Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), or dual stack clients. The existing Route 53 DNS service IPv4 API endpoint will remain available for backwards compatibility.
Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service that allows customers to register a domain, setup DNS records corresponding to your infrastructure, perform global traffic routing using Traffic Flow, and use Route 53 health checks to monitor the health and performance of your applications and resources. Due to the continued growth of the internet, IPv4 address space is being exhausted and customers are transitioning to IPv6 addresses. Now, clients can connect via IPv6 to the Route 53 DNS service API endpoint, enabling organizations to meet compliance requirements and removing the added complexity of IP address translation between IPv4 and IPv6.
Support for IPv6 on the Route 53 DNS service API endpoint is available in all Commercial Regions and available at no additional cost. You can get started with this feature through the AWS CLI or AWS Management Console. To learn more about which Route 53 features are accessible via the route53.amazon.aws service endpoint, visit this page and to learn more about the Route 53 DNS service, visit our documentation.
