Hello suyog patil,

Thanks for your feedback.

I want to highlight that NAT Gateway’s NAT64 option just maps IPv6 addresses to IPv4, allowing communication between IPv6-enabled AWS resources and IPv4 resources. It does not function like an egress-only IGW that only allows outgoing IPv6 traffic and, at the same time prevents IPv6 connection from initiating contact with your Ipv6-enabled resource in AWS. This means that IPv6 clients can still start a connection with your IPv6 resource.

We’ll revise the given explanation in our questions to clarify this.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Regards,

Carlo @ Tutorials Dojo
