AWS IoT Services expand support of VPC endpoints and IPv6 connectivity

AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT Device Management, and AWS IoT Device Defender have expanded support for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints and IPv6. Developers can now use AWS PrivateLink to establish VPC endpoints for all data plane operations, management APIs, and credential provider. This enhancement allows IoT workloads to operate entirely within virtual private clouds without traversing the public internet, helping strengthen the security posture for IoT deployments.

Additionally, IPv6 support for both VPC and public endpoints gives developers the flexibility to connect IoT devices and applications using either IPv6 or IPv4. This helps organizations meet local requirements for IPv6 while maintaining compatibility with existing IPv4 infrastructure.

These features can be configured through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, and AWS CloudFormation. The functionality is now generally available in all AWS Regions where the relevant AWS IoT services are offered. For more information about the IPv6 support and VPCe support, customers can visit the AWS IoT technical documentation pages.
