Netflix
Enabling IPv6 across the Netflix streaming platform in AWS enabled continued hyperscale growth, scalability and innovation.
Donavan Fritz, Senior Network SRE - Netflix

IMDb
We were able to expand our reach in the US market to 3x users by dialing up IMDbTV to successfully onboard IPv6-only connected devices.
Amy Lee, Manager Software Development - IMDbTV

Aroundhome
We have enabled IPv6 on our load balancers (ALB) and Cloudfront distributions so customers can already reach our services through IPv6. It turned out to be a very smooth process without any hiccups.
Within a short amount of time we were able to report nearly 40 percent of our customer traffic to be IPv6
Hendrik Bergunde, Team Lead Technology - Aroundhome
