IPv6 progress on AWS at the end of 2024

When I worked at AWS in 2012-2014, I championed the adoption of IPv6. I’ve spoken about Ipv6 many times on this blog, at AWS User Group Meetings, and with my colleagues at work. We’ve deployed solutions dual-stack for clients where there hasn’t been any cost implications in doing so.

Over time, a number of “What’s new” posts have shown where IPv6 capability has been added. Now after 10 years since I departed AWS, I though I would look at the rate of IPv6 announcements and see =how it stacked up over time.

Clearly we can see an uptick in announcements from 2021 onwards. Additional managed services are still adopting; perhaps the rate of change is leveling out now.
