Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) connectivity

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now offers customers the option to create instances with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses. Timestream for InfluxDB makes it easy for application developers and DevOps teams to run fully managed InfluxDB databases on Amazon Web Services for real-time time-series applications using open-source APIs. Customers moving to IPv6 can now simplify their network stack by creating their Timestream for InfluxDB instances 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 VPCs. Customers can also continue to connect to Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB via IPv4 connections if they do not utilize IPv6.
