#4My hunch is that AWS charging for v4 addresses will start applying pressure across a broad cross-section of businesses as they start asking why don’t they just use the free thing
Re: Schrödinger's IPv6 Cat
#5I am not sure if it is me on the article sounds like it was passed through an LLM.
These days I see more and more content similar to how the chat GPT would generate and describe things

Where I work there is almost nobody with any IPv6 experience and certainly nobody willing to come forth and push for adoption. We just push the increasing cost of NAT gateways etc onto our customers.

#7Not a great writeup. The IPv6 Cat thing is tortured and the article feels meandering and mostly pointless. Is the intended audience policy makers?

Indeed!
Look at these formulations: "Respecting these governance frameworks is crucial to maintaining the open, collaborative model that underpins global Internet development and its technological evolution ... collaborative approaches that engage technical communities, promote open standards, and prioritise interoperability are essential... To overcome these challenges, a strategic approach combining economic and operational incentives with collaborative governance is essential. Governments and organisations must take proactive steps to create a more supportive environment... By combining these measures, enterprises and network operators can address the barriers to IPv6 adoption while fostering collaboration between governments, industry leaders, and the technical community. This approach ensures that the transition to IPv6 remains inclusive, efficient, and aligned with the Internet’s principles of openness and innovation."
Purely LLM gibberish...:))

Half of AWS services aren't even available from an IPv6 endpoint, it's a clusterfuck. I'm all for carrot and stick but they are making a giant mess of it.

Yeah. For example, ECR (Elastic Container Registry) is _not_ available on IPv6. Anything "serverless" such as ElastiCache or RDS is also not available.
So it means that you can't have a fully-IPv6 stack for any modern application on AWS.
