Does AWS ELB support IPv6?
Each Elastic Load Balancer now supports three DNS names – an IPv4 DNS name providing a single IPv4 address, an IPv6 DNS name providing a single IPv6 address, and a “dualstack” DNS name which provides both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address. ELB support for IPv6 in other Regions will be available shortly.
Which of the following load balancers work with IPv6?
Google Cloud supports IPv6 clients with HTTP(S) Load Balancing, SSL Proxy Load Balancing, and TCP Proxy Load Balancing. The load balancer accepts IPv6 connections from your users, and then proxies those connections to your backends.
What is IPv4 and IPv6 in AWS?
IP addresses enable resources in your VPC to communicate with each other, and with resources over the internet. Amazon EC2 and Amazon VPC support the IPv4 and IPv6 addressing protocols. IPv6 addresses are public and reachable over the internet.
What is the difference between classic and application load balancer in AWS?
But in general, the Classic Load Balancer is likely to be the best choice if your routing and load-balancing needs can all be handled based on IP addresses and TCP ports. In contrast, the Application Load Balancer can address more complex load-balancing needs by managing traffic at the application level.

Do you need a VPC to run an AWS load balancer?
The reason is that load balancers run in a VPC. You need an IPv6 enabled VPC before you can enable IPv6 on a load balancer. The next section will cover this. First of all, there is no IPv6-only VPC on AWS. A VPC is always IPv4 enabled, but you can optionally enable IPv6 (dual-stack).
What kind of IPv6 address does AWS use?
When you do so, AWS assigns a /56 block of IPv6 Global Unicast Addresses (GUA) to your VPC – you can bring your own block as well. A GUA is like a public IPv4 address.
