AWS Elastic IP architecture

Only EC2 classic has dual stack anything.  VPC load balancers (and, indeed,
everything about VPC) is IPv4 only.

And EC2 classic is being phased out, so dualstack is sort of dying on AWS.
However, I do have some solid information that they're scrambling to
retrofit, but seeing
as how we know AWS operates internally (compartmentalizing information to
the point of paranoia), I reckon it will be another year or two before we
even see IPv6
support extend to CloudFront (their CDN) endpoints.

Don't hold your breath on seeing v6 inside VPC/EC2 anytime soon...is what I
was told.
