AWS IPAM (IP Address Manager) is a feature within Amazon VPC that helps twtech plan, track, and monitor IP address usage across twtech AWS environments, including both IPv4 and IPv6.
It provides a centralized visibility
and lifecycle management for IP addresses, which is especially valuable in
large or multi-account, multi-region AWS environments.
Key Features of AWS IPAM:
- Centralized IP Management:
- Manage IP address spaces (VPCs, subnets) from a
central point across multiple AWS accounts and regions.
- Automated IP Allocation:
- Automatically allocate IP CIDRs to VPCs and subnets
based on policies and rules you define.
- Monitoring & Auditing:
- View IP address usage history.
- Track which addresses are in use, by whom, and when
they were allocated.
- Hierarchical Organization:
- Use scopes and pools to logically group and segment IP
addresses based on regions, environments (dev/test/prod), business units,
etc.
- Integration with AWS Organizations:
- Manage IP spaces across multiple AWS accounts using a
single AWS IPAM instance.
- Compliance & Governance:
- Supports IP usage policies and helps maintain
compliance with IP address planning requirements.
