Amazon Cloud Control API now allows customers to use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses for their new and existing domains. Customers moving to IPv6 can simplify their network stack by running their Amazon Cloud Control API domains on a network that supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

The continued growth of the internet is exhausting available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 increases the number of available addresses by several orders of magnitude so customers will no longer need to manage overlapping address spaces in their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Customers can standardize their applications on the new version of Internet Protocol by moving their Amazon Cloud Control API domains to IPv6 with Amazon CLI.

This feature is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To learn more about Amazon Cloud Control API, please refer to our user guide.
