Sounds like the perfect time to migrate to IPv6!
- sroussey 6y agoIP6 on AWS ECS is a pain, and impossible if you use their recommended and dedicated command line tool.
- Ericson2314 6y agoThis has always seemed deeply suspicious to me. It's like AWS is trying to prop up the value of its speculation on IPv4 addresses.
- leetcrew 6y agoor merely lazy. why spend time/$$$ supporting IPv6 when you have plenty of IPv4 addresses?
- Ericson2314 6y agoWell given that they keep on buying more IPv4, just supporting IPv6 better seems like the far cheaper option. That's what's so weird!
- jgalt212 6y agoThey're buying up taxi medallions and investing in ride sharing.
- dheera 6y agoTruth be told, IPv6 still doesn't work. I've stayed in plenty of hotels and plenty of airport Wi-Fi that only had IPv4 routing. Until it's universal, it can't be considered a solution.
- RKearney 6y agoFortunately public facing systems are capable of being dual stacked so that won't be a problem. There's no reason internal networks can't be v6 only. Microsoft's already done it.
- IvyMike 6y agoI know they have plans: https://teamarin.net/2019/04/03/microsoft-works-toward-ipv6-only-single-stack-network/ https://teamarin.net/2019/04/03/microsoft-works-toward-ipv6-... But AFAIK that is still aspirational. I would be pleasantly shocked and impressed if they had already achieved that.
- rachelbythebay 6y agoBack up about 20 years and you could say the same thing about the (IPv4) Internet as a whole. I stayed in plenty of hotels which had zip for connectivity back then, but here we are now. Things change...
