#2Finally! It's been a major deficiency in AWS. Can't wait to see this roll out to us-west-2.

Its already out, you can launch a ipv6 instance now

#4I find it interesting that this didn't make into the keynote.
Is the actual interest really low?

Most production environments terminate on Cloudfront endpoints (or other CDNs) or ELBs/ALBs; not much need for IPv6 to individual instances (which can use IPv4 internally).

That's my thinking as well. Surely behind the edge is all implementation and should be hidden?
The only appreciable benefit i can see right now is that everything moves back to be a routable internet, no more NAT / nat scaling issues for EC2's sending large quantities of data directly to the public internet?

VPC ELBs and ALBs don't support ipv6 though. Presumably this is the first step to adding that support, although it's still not available even in the new ipv6 VPCs.

I went to one of the first IPv6 sessions at re:Invent this morning. The room was for maybe, 300-400 people? There were 40 or so people in it. So, yes, the interest is low.
That said, I think it's a great signal to the industry, and I'm excited to try to use IPv6!

#108 IPs per instance, max :/
