AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) IPv6 Support

AWS DRS now supports IPv6 for data replication and control plane connections, allowing customers to configure AWS DRS to replicate using IPv6 in IPv6-only or dual-stack network environments. This eliminates the need for IPv4 addresses in their disaster recovery setup.

AWS DRS minimizes downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications using affordable storage, minimal compute, and point-in-time recovery. Customers can now set the internet protocol to IPv6 in their replication configuration to use dual-stack endpoints for agent-to-service communication and data replication.
