I work for a federal space where IPv6 native is a mandate. As someone who's working on k8s, we often have to build and patch everything ourselves to support that mandate. Want to pull a helm chart from a github repo? Gotta either dual stack the node or run a reverse proxy to make that happen.
I'd love to be at a point where everyone just dual stacked everything so that one day we can flip off the IPv4 switch.
- Dagger2 3y agoTry NAT64. It'll let v6-only clients reach v4-only websites.
- pknomad 3y agoInteresting. I'll take a look! Thanks!
- ianburrell 3y agoI think major failure of Kubernetes was not being IPv6-only from the beginning. Its model of every pod having own address works much better with IPv6 where addresses are cheap. With IPv4, it needs complicated overlay networks. The cluster boundary would also make a good place for NAT64 proxy. Kubernetes didn't get IPv6 support until later, and it sounds like it isn't reliable yet.
