Worst for me is CloudFront not supporting IPv6 for custom origins. If you happen to run a lot of separate Fargate containers as origins, you have to enable public IPv4 addresses for them, and that will soon double the price of small confainers. Amazon needs to make their infrastructure actually support IPv6 before starting to charge extra for legacy IPv4 usage.

Yeah, somehow this one hurts the most. I know Amazon has built a giant beast here and rolling out IPv6 across all of their million services is a huge undertaking, but I can't see any reason for CloudFront not supporting IPv6 origins, like yesterday. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard relatively speaking, and would provide a good tool for working around other limitations. Honestly I've always felt that Amazon's decision-making ultimately had the best interests of their customers in mind, until now. I think this is a bad sign for things to come.
