Migration issue from ipv4 to ipv6

0

To reduce costs, I am migrating our infrastructure from IPv4 to IPv6. I have already made changes to the VPC, subnets, route tables, load balancer, and auto-scaling group. However, during deployment, there is an issue because the CodeDeploy agent is unable to communicate over IPv6. How can I resolve this issue? Is code deploy agent support ipv6? Is SSM support ipv6 ?

Hello,

The issue your facing:

You are migrating your infrastructure from IPv4 to IPv6 to reduce costs. During this migration, you have made the necessary changes to your VPC, subnets, route tables, load balancer, and auto-scaling group. However, when you try to deploy your application using AWS CodeDeploy, you face an issue because the CodeDeploy agent is unable to communicate over IPv6.

Solution:

The AWS CodeDeploy agent does not currently support IPv6 communication. To resolve this issue, you can configure your instances to use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (dual-stack mode). This way, the CodeDeploy agent can communicate over IPv4, while the rest of your application can use IPv6 addresses.

1.Is code deploy agent support ipv6?

No, the AWS CodeDeploy agent does not currently support IPv6.

The CodeDeploy agent is responsible for communicating with the CodeDeploy service during application deployments. However, as of now, the CodeDeploy agent can only communicate over IPv4 addresses. It does not have native support for IPv6 communication.

2.Is SSM support ipv6 ?

Yes, AWS Systems Manager (SSM) supports IPv6.

According to the AWS Systems Manager documentation, SSM supports managing instances with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This includes the ability to run commands, manage configurations, and perform other management tasks on instances with IPv6 addresses.

Specifically, the documentation states:

"AWS Systems Manager supports managing instances that have IPv6 addresses. You can use Systems Manager to run commands, manage configurations, and perform other management tasks on instances that have IPv6 addresses."

  • Thank you very much for the guidance. The main reason for switching to IPv6 is to avoid the high costs of IPv4 addresses, which are becoming expensive and limited. If we keep IPv4 enabled on our instances, we'll still be charged for using IPv4, which defeats the purpose of moving to IPv6. If we enable both ipv4 and ipv6, will this method reduce my cost ?

  • Yes, enabling both IPv4 and IPv6 (dual-stack) can potentially reduce your costs.
