Amazon not supporting IPv6 is inexcusable. They're basically holding half the startup world hostage on deploying it.

Their price/performance for compute is not great and their per-node reliability isn't any better than any of the above providers either. (Google compute has auto-migration on hardware problems so they score higher here, but still no IPv6.) Amazon does have a great service ecosystem but most people don't use most of it. I'd expect big-and-dumb "enterprise" IT people to pick a provider by picking the one with the largest features list and/or the highest "nobody ever got fired for" score, but I'm surprised that startups do the same. All of the above providers support IPv6 out of the box and have for a while. One of the ways startups can win is by making first-handed technically-informed vendor decisions instead of going with the herd.
