It is 2021, and AWS Global Accelerator still does not support IPv6. Google Cloud has supported this on their global anycast load balancers since September 2017.

I get the distinct impression that big, core chunks of AWS don't support IPv6, and where they do, it's very much a bolted-on second class citizen for which one should keep the expectations low.

Google is by far the worst cloud provider when it comes to IPv6 support. They only support IPv6 on VPC networks in asia-east1, asia-south1, europe-west2, and us-west2, you cannot access the metadata service over IPv6, and IPv6 on load balances just left Alpha last year I believe.

I do not care about internal network IPv6 at all. What I do care about is external network accessibility for IPv6. For incoming IPv6 GCP is doing great, outgoing not so much (I agree!).

[RKearney]

Then you'd be happy to hear AWS and Azure had support for IPv6 on inbound load balancers years before GCP.

Google doesn't own nearly as many IPs as Amazon, so they have to do better at IPv6. AWS is incentivized to keep the world IPv4 as long as possible.
