Previously limited to IPv4, ElastiCache Serverless now supports selecting IPv4, IPv6, or both simultaneously for cache network access. Dual stack enables gradual migration to IPv6 without breaking IPv4-dependent applications, while IPv6-only support helps meet compliance mandates.

This update is available across all AWS Regions, including GovCloud and China, at no additional charge. It offers customers more flexibility in caching infrastructure network configuration, facilitating modern network protocol adoption.
