AWS Lambda now supports inbound IPv6 connectivity over AWS PrivateLink
AWS Lambda now supports IPv6-only and dual-stack PrivateLink interface VPC Endpoints, enabling you to access the Lambda API without traversing the public internet or being constrained by the limited number of IPv4 addresses in your VPC. AWS PrivateLink is a highly available, scalable service that allows you to privately connect your VPC to services and resources as if they were in your VPC.
Previously, Lambda supported inbound private connectivity over PrivateLink using IPv4-only VPC endpoints. With today’s launch, we are expanding Lambda’s inbound private connectivity to include IPv6-only and dual-stack VPC endpoints, enabling you to invoke and manage Lambda functions over IPv6 from dual-stack or IPv6-only VPCs. This launch combines the benefits of private connectivity with the larger address space and simpler network configuration of the IPv6 protocol.
AWS Lambda supports inbound IPv6 connectivity over PrivateLink in all AWS Regions. For more information, see the AWS Region table. Please refer to PrivateLink Pricing for price of using VPC endpoints. You can get started by creating a VPC endpoint for Lambda using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS CDK, AWS CloudFormation, and the AWS SDK. To learn more, visit the Lambda developer guide.
