Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced that its customers can now create IPv6-only virtual private cloud (VPC) networks.
“This capability is ideal if you have workloads, such as serverless and container applications, that consume a large number of IP addresses,” note AWS’ Rohit Aswani and Aditya Santhanam, hailing the announcement as monumental.
The duo add that this new capability is ideal for IP address-hungry workloads, such as serverless and container applications. With about 18 quintillion IP addresses on offer, IPv6 can help users break free of the constraints of IPv4 address space.
