Sounds like the perfect time to migrate to IPv6!

IP6 on AWS ECS is a pain, and impossible if you use their recommended and dedicated command line tool.

This 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]

or merely lazy. why spend time/$$$ supporting IPv6 when you have plenty of IPv4 addresses?

[jgalt212]

They're buying up taxi medallions and investing in ride sharing.

[Ericson2314]

Well given that they keep on buying more IPv4, just supporting IPv6 better seems like the far cheaper option. That's what's so weird!

Truth 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.

Fortunately 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.

I know they have plans:

But AFAIK that is still aspirational. I would be pleasantly shocked and impressed if they had already achieved that.

Back 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...
