Summary

Added dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) support information for AWS IoT SiteWise VPC interface endpoints

Security assessment

The addition of IPv6 support for VPC endpoints enhances network security capabilities by enabling modern IP stack configurations. While not fixing a specific vulnerability, it documents expanded security-related infrastructure options using AWS PrivateLink. VPC endpoints are a security best practice for private network access.

-An _interface VPC endpoint_ establishes a private connection between your virtual private cloud (VPC) and AWS IoT SiteWise. [AWS PrivateLink](https://aws.amazon.com/privatelink/) powers interface endpoints, enabling private access to AWS IoT SiteWise API operations. You can bypass the need for an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect. Instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to communicate with AWS IoT SiteWise API operations. Traffic between your VPC and AWS IoT SiteWise doesn't leave the AWS network.
