Amazon Personalize now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

Posted on: Feb 6, 2025

Amazon Personalize introduces dual stack support for the Personalize API endpoints, enabling you to connect using Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), or dual stack clients. Dual stack support is also available when you privately access the Personalize API endpoint from your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using AWS PrivateLink.

The urgency to transition to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is driven by the continued growth of internet, which is exhausting available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses. With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients on Personalize endpoints, you are able to gradually transition from IPv4 to IPv6 based systems and applications, without needing to switch all over at once. This enables you to help meet IPv6 compliance requirements and removes the need for expensive networking equipment to handle the address translation between IPv4 and IPv6.

Support for IPv6 on Amazon Personalize in all supported regions. To learn more on best practices for configuring IPv6, see the whitepaper on IPv6 in AWS.
