Yikes. I get free IPv6 for my servers through Hurricane Electric since my ISP doesn’t provide it yet, I wonder if their service also works on AWS? I mean come on, if someone like Comcast can figure it out, why is it so hard for a major player like Amazon?
Lots of legacy networking I would assume.
Most services especially compute can get IPv6 so if all you have is EC2 instances you’re good. S3 is usually fine, but I think when you get into Lambdas and especially the more niche services, those are IPv4 only, so you need some IPv4 addressing.
Ironically I’ve really been enjoying the massive IPv6 address space, makes numbering dozens of VPCs and subnets a whole lot easier. I don’t get why it’s not in huge demand especially larger customers.
