And yet IPv6 connectivity is still not available for GCE instance VMs.

  IPv6 is not yet that useful for external facing sites (what do people use IPv6 for on external sites?), but AWS does let you get a /56 for a VPC which should be enough for most VPC need (you can't specify your own CIDR however).

    > IPv6 is not yet that useful for external facing sites Google's NAT pricing only affects connections initiated by the VM (external load balancer traffic doesn't use the NAT). So most of this traffic is going to be your servers talking to 3rd party APIs, update servers, etc. A lot of these services support IPv6 now, meaning your NAT costs would be lower if GCE supported IPv6.

      But then they couldn't charge you for the bandwidth.

    Why not? IPv6 usage is increasing every year and offers faster, simpler routing which results in better performance. Almost all mobile networks (which is about half the traffic today) use IPv6.
