From ba61e2a3912c52f787f397bec95ef8aa0b2bd3ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Greene Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 00:15:17 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Added line about S3 Transfer Acceleration supporting IPv6 for clarity. --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index e50d0a4..da44bb0 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -688,7 +688,7 @@ S3 - [ObjectiveFS](https://objectivefs.com/) ([discussion](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10117506)) is a commercial solution that supports filesystem features and concurrent clients. - If you are primarily using a VPC, consider setting up a [VPC Endpoint](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/vpc-endpoints.html) for S3 in order to allow your VPC-hosted resources to easily access it without the need for extra network configuration or hops. - **Cross-region replication:** S3 has [a feature](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/crr.html) for replicating a bucket between one region and another. Note that S3 is already highly replicated within one region, so usually this isn’t necessary for durability, but it could be useful for compliance (geographically distributed data storage), lower latency, or as a strategy to reduce region-to-region bandwidth costs by mirroring heavily used data in a second region. -- **IPv4 vs IPv6:** For a long time S3 only supported IPv4 at the default endpoint `https://BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com`. However, [as of Aug 11, 2016](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/now-available-ipv6-support-for-amazon-s3/) it now supports both IPv4 & IPv6! To use both, you have to [enable dualstack](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/dual-stack-endpoints.html) either in your preferred API client or by directly using this url scheme `https://BUCKET.s3.dualstack.REGION.amazonaws.com`. +- **IPv4 vs IPv6:** For a long time S3 only supported IPv4 at the default endpoint `https://BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com`.
