DO has IPv6 on the public side of their network. Couldn't tell you why they've chosen not to use IPv6 for VPC networks, though. Probably just for management s

  DO sort of has IPv6. Their load balancers don't do IPv6, and you can't use IPv6 in their managed k8s offering. (My guess, honestly, is that nobody asks for it. IPv6 is a problem for Some Other Day.)

    They also only give you 16 addresses. 16! Most providers give you an entire /64 or sometimes even a /48.

      Wow. In France, home ISP give you a /64 generally (Free for example, known for Online/Scaleway). I think 80 % of their fiber deployments comes with IPv6 enabled now. And in few years, it should be 100 %.

        When I was a customer, Free gave you eight (or was it 16?) /64 (as it appeared in the UI[0], I seem to recall they may not all be contiguous), 7 of them you could use for prefix delegation (can't recall why using the first one caused issues, IIRC it was special cased in some way as the "main" one that the Freebox wants to manage). Also it was 6rd, not purely native IPv6. Hopefully they changed that because latency was bad enough the devices would often pick IPv4 through Happy Eyeballs and throughput was a half to a tenth of the v4 path. After that, I had a whole native /56 at Red by SFR. Currently I'm at Sosh by Orange and I have a native /56.
