I wish Google Cloud Platform would support ipv6 (internally).

    At least AWS is slowly creeping towards supporting IPv6: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/networking-and-content-delivery/introducing-ipv6-only-subnets-and-ec2-instances/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/networking-and-content-delivery... https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/11/application-load-balancer-network-load-balancer-end-to-end-ipv6-support/ https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/11/applicati... I guess we can thank US government partially for that: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/aws-enables-us-federal-governments-move-ipv6/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/aws-enables-us-fed...

  All of the cloud providers and even VPS services have been dragging their heels on IPv6 for ages and it makes no sense to me. These services could all benefit from having IPv6 only options for people who don't need IPv4 addresses. V4 addresses are turning into real money, you would expect the services to try to optimize their use to save costs. Even worse is when someone deploys IPv6 but does it in a comically nonsensical way like Digital Ocean[1]. Yes, you read that right, they assign /124s even though the smallest allocation is supposed to be a /64. And if you think this means you're sharing the same IPv6 address with virtually every other droplet in a datacenter, you would be right. Welcome to every blacklist everywhere. It is kind of like hosting an entire datacenter off of a single IPv4 address. [1] https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/ipv6/ https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/ipv6/
