Services
Amazon CloudFront now supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for Anycast Static IP configurations. Previously, customers could only use IPv4 addresses when using CloudFront Anycast static IP addresses. With this launch, customers using CloudFront Anycast Static IP addresses receive both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for their workloads. This dual-stack support allows customers to meet IPv6 compliance requirements, future-proof their infrastructure, and serve end users on IPv6-only networks.
Typically, CloudFront uses rotating IP addresses to serve traffic. Customers implementing Anycast Static IPs receive a dedicated list of static IP addresses for their workloads. CloudFront Anycast Static IPs enables customers to provide a dedicated list of IP addresses to partners and their customers for enhancing security and simplifying network management across various use cases.
CloudFront supports IPv6 for Anycast Static IPs from all edge locations. This excludes Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region, operated by NWCD.
