Description
### Describe the feature
It seems that ec2.CfnVPNConnection does not support IPv6 (or is not documented).
I would like to be able to create IPv6 site-to-site VPNs via CDK but the standard SDK "TunnelInsideIpVersion" is not available.
Example of how this is available in Boto3: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/ec2.html#EC2.Client.create_vpn_connection
Using a custom resource to create VPNs is really not ideal because VPNs take a long time to become available and thus probably require asynchronous checking.
Can we please enable IPv6 site-to-site VPNs in CDK?
### Use Case
Connecting site-to-side with IPv6 internal addresses/traffic.
### Proposed Solution
Add TunnelInsideIpVersion and TunnelInsideIpv6Cidr to tunnel options.
### Other Information
_No response_
### Acknowledgements
- [ ] I may be able to implement this feature request
- [ ] This feature might incur a breaking change
### CDK version used
2.46.0 (build 5a0595e)
### Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)
MacOS Monterey 12.4
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the CfnVPNConnection entry point and its tunnel options, then compare the linked Boto3 create_vpn_connection reference for the IPv6 property names. Done means TunnelInsideIpVersion and TunnelInsideIpv6Cidr are available for configuring IPv6 site-to-site VPNs through CDK.
