Amazon Kinesis Video Streams IPv6 Support

AWS has introduced Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addressing support for Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS). This enhancement allows customers to use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to stream video from millions of devices. Existing IPv4 implementations continue to work seamlessly while gaining the benefits of IPv6 connectivity.

Organizations can now stream videos using IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack clients, simplifying IPv6-based system transitions and ensuring compliance requirements are met.

What to do

  • Update your KVS clients to use dual-stack endpoints for IPv6 support.
  • Ensure your network infrastructure supports IPv6 connectivity.
  • Review the developer guide for more information.

IPv6 support is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon KVS is available except Ap-Southeast-1 and GovCloud regions.
