AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery now supports IPv6

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS)AWS · Storage

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) now supports IPv6 for both data replication and control plane connections. Customers operating in IPv6-only or dual-stack network environments can now configure AWS DRS to replicate using IPv6, eliminating 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. Previously, AWS DRS required IPv4 connectivity for all replication and service communication. Now, customers can set the internet protocol to IPv6 in their replication configuration to use dual-stack endpoints for agent-to-service communication and data replication. This helps customers meet network modernization requirements and enables disaster recovery in environments where IPv4 addresses are unavailable or restricted. Existing replication configurations are not affected and continue to use IPv4 by default.

This capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DRS is available and where Amazon EC2 supports IPv6. See the AWS Regional Services List for the latest availability information.

To learn more about AWS DRS, visit our product page or documentation. To get started, sign in to the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Console.
