Bug#846583: cloud.debian.org: AWS Image should enable DHCPv6 client
Package: cloud.debian.org
Severity: minor
User: cloud.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: aws
Hi,
thanks for providing an AWS EC2 Image with Debian Jessie.
AWS is now supporting IPv6 on EC2 instances, see
https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/aws/new-ipv6-support-for-ec2-instances-in-virtual-private-clouds/.
The support is currently limited to the zone us-east2, but should be
available in all regions shortly. The provisioning of the IPv6 address
on the machine is done through stateful DHCPv6.
For this /etc/network/interfaces needs to be amended with
iface eth0 inet6 dhcp
Thanks,
Bernhard
