Using IPv6 IP addresses

Using IPv6 IP addresses

Configure your domain name with the appropriate prefix

In your DNS provider’s web interface, add the appropriate prefix to your domain name. In most cases, prefix your CNAME domain name with the dualstack prefix to support both IPv4 and IPv6 visitors. Prefix your CNAME domain name with the ipv6 prefix to support only IPv6 visitors. For example, suppose your website’s domain name is www.example.com and your Prod environment’s URL is mc-1234-4321.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com. Set the CNAME entry for www.example.com to dualstack.mc-1234-4321.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.

Use Platform CDN (if available)

If you are on Cloud Platform Enterprise and have Platform CDN enabled, use the CNAME provided in the Global CDN section of the Domains page. The dualstack prefix in the endpoint ensures that it is IPv6 compatible without the need for a separate AAAA record.
