The day they started forcing users to use VPCs on new EC2 instances it was pretty clear to me they’d really screwed up.
That was the point when they should have gone pure v6 for everyone except enterprise customers. And if you wanted to expose services over v4, they should have made you pay for a load balancer. That would have made it pretty easy to pass through the real cost, and would have gotten devs used to using v6 for management and internal connectivity.
I saw a comment saying ISPs should drop v4. I consult for one and they absolutely cannot. Too many customers still rely on stuff that doesn’t support v6. It’s become a major headache. Not only are they expensive, but you also have to be careful not to buy blocks that are on legacy blacklists.
