As a key technology for the next generation of the Internet, IPv6 is an inevitable trend in the development of network information technology and the evolution and upgrading of the Internet. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued a special "Action Plan for Promoting the Large-Scale Deployment of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)" to accelerate the deployment and application of IPv6. As a well-known independent cloud service provider in China, Kingsoft Cloud has been actively supporting the transformation of IPv6. As early as 2018, it has completed a large amount of IPv6 network construction work and formulated specific strategies for the three stages of IPv6 evolution to ensure the smooth upgrade of cloud products and services.

The "IPv6 Support Excellence Award" is a recognition of Kingsoft Cloud's achievements in IPv6 construction; the "Cloud Service IPv6 Support Capability Evaluation Certificate" indicates that Kingsoft Cloud has effectively completed the IPv6 transformation of related cloud services, and its cloud service indicators in various aspects of the IPv6 network have been recognized by authoritative organizations. It is understood that the evaluation indicators include service functionality, service availability, network access performance, service usability, service security, coverage, and completeness of IPv6 upgrade and transformation solutions. Kingsoft Cloud's cloud servers, load balancing, domain name resolution, object storage, cloud databases, managed Hadoop and other products have successfully passed the certification.

In recent years, the digital economy has swept the world. As an important supporting technology for digital infrastructure, IPv6 is entering a golden period of development. Kingsoft Cloud's full range of cloud service products, including computing, networking, storage, database, and big data, have achieved full support for IPv6 networks, and have the access support capabilities for IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack users. Through a complete IPv6 solution, we build a high-speed, widely popular, fully covered, and intelligent next-generation Internet network, helping enterprises to quickly improve their digital infrastructure operations and achieve intelligent upgrades.

About Cloud Service IPv6 Support Capability Assessment and Certification

The cloud service IPv6 support capability assessment project was officially released in August 2020. The project is based on the "IPv6 Enabled Cloud Logo Test Specification" of the Global IPv6 Testing Center and the "Cloud Service IPv6 Support Assessment Indicators and Methods" of the "Expert Committee for Promoting IPv6 Large-Scale Deployment" of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.

The evaluation assesses the IPv6 capabilities of cloud services based on seven indicators: service functionality, service availability, network access performance, service usability, service security, coverage, and completeness of IPv6 upgrade and transformation solutions. This helps enterprises locate problems that arise during the IPv6 transformation of cloud service platforms, effectively promotes cloud service platforms to carry out in-depth IPv6 transformation, expands the coverage of IPv6 resources, provides a good infrastructure for the IPv6 transformation of cloud service platforms, and effectively improves the IPv6 business carrying capacity of cloud service platforms.
