An endpoint is a URL that serves as an entry point for an AWS web service. Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager supports the following endpoint types:
-
IPv4 endpoints
-
Dual-stack endpoints that support both IPv4 and IPv6
-
FIPS endpoints
When you make a request, you can specify the endpoint and Region to use. If you do not specify an endpoint, the IPv4 endpoint is used by default. To use a different endpoint type, you must specify it in your request. For examples of how to do this, see Specifying endpoints.
For the Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager, see Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
IPv4 endpoints
IPv4 endpoints support IPv4 traffic only. IPv4 endpoints are available for all Regions.
You must specify the Region as part of the endpoint name. The endpoint names use the following naming convention:
-
dlm.
region
.amazonaws.com
For example, the IPv4 endpoint for the US East (N. Virginia) Region is
dlm.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
.
Dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) endpoints
Dual-stack endpoints support both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Dual-stack endpoints are available for all Regions.
To use IPv6, you must use a dual-stack endpoint. When you make a request to a dual-stack endpoint, the endpoint URL resolves to an IPv6 or an IPv4 address, depending on the protocol used by your network and client.
You must specify the Region as part of the endpoint name. Dual-stack endpoint names use the following naming convention:
-
dlm.
region
.api.aws
For example, the dual-stack endpoint for the US East (N. Virginia) Region is
dlm.us-east-1.api.aws
.
FIPS endpoints
Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager provides FIPS-validated dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) endpoints for the following Regions:
-
us-east-1
— US East (N. Virginia) -
us-east-2
— US East (Ohio) -
us-west-1
— US West (N. California) -
us-west-2
— US West (Oregon) -
ca-central-1
— Canada (Central) -
ca-west-1
— Canada West (Calgary)
FIPS dual-stack endpoints use the following naming convention:
dlm-fips.
. For example, the FIPS dual-stack
endpoint for the US East (N. Virginia) Region is region
.api.awsdlm-fips.us-east-1.api.aws
.
Specifying endpoints
The following examples show how to specify an endpoint for the US East (N. Virginia)
Region using the AWS CLI.
