-Dual-stack endpoints support both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. When you make a request to a dual-stack endpoint, the endpoint URL resolves to an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. You can turn on access to dual-stack endpoints using the SDK, a configuration file, or an environment variable. For more information on dual-stack and FIPS endpoints, see the [SDK Reference guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-endpoints.html).
