> AWS will most likely never use that many IP addresses.

Are you sure about that? A comment here said that they had 1.4 million servers in 2014, and AWS at the time was probably 1/50th of what it is now. On top of that, I think they have some IoT offerings, and who knows what they're going to offer in the future? They're basically building an internet-sized platform to run half the internet on top of it.

Every tenant in AWS has an independent address space - there could be a million 10.0.0.0/8’s inside and no one would be any the wiser.
