Do the other cloud providers give you IPv4 endpoints for free? I didn't think that was the case. (ie I thought AWS was just falling into line with the others on charging).

As for the "critical services not supporting IPv6" in the post I was quite surprised that it's such a short list of things that don't work - I would have expected more. They've obviously made a ton of progress.

IPv6 and Python3 are case studies in how not to roll out a new version unless you're cool with multi-decade upgrade windows.

Is there an alternative, though? Both Python3 and IPv6 both solve problems that would have been at least as painful to do incrementally, IMHO.

DigitalOcean do.

Azure and Google Cloud don't, and they didn't have full ipv6 support when making the change either
