AWS Security Token Service Now Supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) AWS Security Token Service (STS) now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses via new dual-stack endpoints. You can connect to STS over the public internet using IPv6, IPv4, or dual-stack (both IPv4 and IPv6) clients. Dual-stack support is also available when you access STS endpoints privately from your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using AWS PrivateLink, allowing you to invoke STS APIs without traversing the public internet. Support for dual-stack STS endpoints is available in all AWS Commercial Regions, AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and China Regions. To get started, configure your STS client to use the new dual-stack endpoints using the configuration instructions in the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_dual-stack_endpoint_support.html.

AWS STS global endpoint now serves your requests locally in regions enabled by default AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) now automatically serves all requests to the global endpoint (sts.amazonaws.com) in the same AWS Region as your deployed workloads, enhancing resiliency and performance. Previously, all requests to the STS global endpoint were served from the US East (N. Virginia) Region. With this enhancement, your applications benefit from improved latency and fault isolation as requests are processed in the same Region as your workloads. For example, if your application runs in US West (Oregon) and calls the STS global endpoint, your requests are now served locally in US West (Oregon) instead of being routed to US East (N. Virginia). This update is available in all AWS Regions that are enabled by default. No action is required from customers to benefit from these improvements. Any requests to the STS global endpoint from Regions not enabled by default (i.e. opt-in Regions) will continue to be served in US East (N. Virginia). We continue to recommend that you use the appropriate https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html whenever possible. For more information about these changes, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_region-endpoints.html#reference_sts_global_endpoint_changes , and the https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/announcing-upcoming-changes-to-the-aws-security-token-service-global-endpoint/

🆕 AWS STS global endpoint now serves requests locally in default regions, enhancing performance and resiliency. No action needed; opt-in regions still route to US East (N. Virginia). For details, see AWS STS updates.
