Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)

Amazon SQS now allows customers to make API requests over Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. The new endpoints have also been validated under the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 program.

Amazon SQS is a fully managed message queuing service that enables decoupling and scaling of distributed systems, microservices, and serverless applications. With this update, customers have the option of using either IPv6 or IPv4 when sending requests over dual-stack public or VPC endpoints.

Amazon SQS now supports IPv6 in all Regions where the service is available, including AWS Commercial, AWS GovCloud (US) and China Regions. For more information on using IPv6 with Amazon SQS, please refer to our developer guide.
