Amazon Lightsail CDN distributions now support IPv6-only instances as origins

Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distributions now support IPv6-only instances as origins. This feature enables customers to use IPv6-only instances to deliver content through the Lightsail CDN distributions with low latency and high transfer speeds worldwide. With this launch, customers can run their websites and applications on cost-effective IPv6-only instances while seamlessly serving content to all end users, including those on networks that don’t yet support IPv6 connectivity.

Previously, only IPv4 and dual-stack instances were supported as origins for Lightsail CDN distributions. With this launch, customers can also use IPv6-only instances as origins for their Lightsail CDN distributions, making applications running on those instances accessible to all end users, regardless of whether end users have IPv6 connectivity. Lightsail CDN distributions support multiple origin types including instances, containers, buckets, and load balancers.

Amazon Lightsail is available in 16 AWS Regions including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Malaysia). To get started, visit the Lightsail console. For pricing and other details, visit the Amazon Lightsail pricing.
