Is ipv4 depletion an issue for the big cloud providers (Amazon , Google, DigitalOcean, Rackspace)? How many ips do they have left?

  It has been an issue for some in the past[1]. [1] http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2014/06/ipv4-exhaustion-gets-real-microsoft-runs-out-of-u-s-addresses-for-azure-cloud-time-to-move-to-ipv6/ http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2014/06/ipv4-e...

  They keep buying space. Microsoft for example http://www.networkworld.com/article/2228854/microsoft-subnet/microsoft-pays-nortel--7-5-million-for-ipv4-addresses.html http://www.networkworld.com/article/2228854/microsoft-subnet...

  The most widely known is Azure, when they had to shuffle addresses around: http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2014/06/ipv4-exhaustion-gets-real-microsoft-runs-out-of-u-s-addresses-for-azure-cloud-time-to-move-to-ipv6/ http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2014/06/ipv4-e... Google already started charging a nominal fee for idle IPv4 addresses: https://cloud.google.com/sql/ https://cloud.google.com/sql/, search for "Idle IPv4 address"

  Amazon landed the largest address transfer that I'm aware of to date (a /10) when du Pont chopped up 52/8. Reddit mentioned it, but I didn't see news on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/2tc4ss/looks_like_amazon_just_got_42_million_ips_from/ https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/2tc4ss/looks_li...
