Oh, and the only thing dual stack about EC2 Classic was ELBs (elastic load balancers). Instances had no means of IPv6 communication except via an ELB. That is the FULL extent of IPv6 implementation on AWS at present...and most people do not have EC2 classic. On Sat, May 30, 2015 at 4:20 PM, Blair Trosper <blair.trosper@gmail.com> wrote:
Only EC2 classic has dual stack anything. VPC load balancers (and, indeed, everything about VPC) is IPv4 only.
And EC2 classic is being phased out, so dualstack is sort of dying on AWS. However, I do have some solid information that they're scrambling to retrofit, but seeing as how we know AWS operates internally (compartmentalizing information to the point of paranoia), I reckon it will be another year or two before we even see IPv6 support extend to CloudFront (their CDN) endpoints.
Don't hold your breath on seeing v6 inside VPC/EC2 anytime soon...is what I was told.

Amazon doesn't even offer a v4/v6 LoadBalancer service right? (I had thought they did, but I guess I'm mis-remembering)
They sort of do, but it’s utterly incompatible with all of their modern capabilities. You have to use some pretty antiquated VM provisioning and such to use it if I understood people correctly.
