Amazon Security Lake now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
Amazon Security Lake customers can now use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses via new dual-stack endpoints to configure and manage the service. This update addresses the growing need for IPv6 adoption due to the exhaustion of available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses caused by continued internet growth.
Amazon Security Lake automatically centralizes security data from AWS environments, SaaS providers, on premises, and cloud sources into a purpose-built data lake stored in your account. With Security Lake, you can get a more complete understanding of your security data across your entire organization. You can also improve the protection of your workloads, applications, and data.
The new dual-stack endpoints support both IPv4 and IPv6 clients, helping you transition from IPv4 to IPv6-based systems and applications at your own pace. This approach can help you work toward IPv6 compliance requirements while reducing the need for additional networking equipment to handle address translation between IPv4 and IPv6.
Support for IPv6 on Amazon Security Lake is available in all commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US). To learn more on best practices for configuring IPv6 in your environment, you can visit our whitepaper on IPv6 in AWS. You can start with a 15-day free trial of Amazon Security Lake with a single-click in the AWS Management console. To learn more and get started, see the following resources:
