Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now supports Internet Protocol version 6

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now allows customers to make API requests over Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Customers now have the option of using either IPv6 or IPv4 when sending requests over dual-stack public endpoints.

Kinesis Data Streams allows users to capture, process, and store data streams in real time at any scale. IPv6 increases the number of available addresses by several orders of magnitude, so customers will no longer need to manage overlapping address spaces. Many devices and networks today already use IPv6, and now they can easily write to and read from data streams.

Support for IPv6 with Kinesis Data Streams is available in all Regions where Kinesis Data Streams is available, except for AWS GovCloud (US) and China Regions. See here for a full listing of our Regions. To learn more about Kinesis Data Streams, please refer to our Developer Guide.
