This isn't just an AWS problem.
So... ok. What does it mean, for a customer of a cloud service, to be ipv6 enabled? What really matters for a cloud service user? What information could be surfaced to the cloud providers in order to get the most important ipv6 'stuff' done 'now'? o Is it most important to be able to address ever VM you create with an ipv6 address? o Is it most important to be able to talk to backend services (perhaps at your prem) over ipv6? o Is it most important that administrative interfaces to the VM systems (either REST/etc interfaces for managing vms or 'ssh'/etc) be ipv6 reachable? o Is it most important to be able to terminate ipv6 connections (or datagrams) on a VM service for the public to use? I don't see, especially if the vm networking is unique to each customer, that 'ipv6 address on vm' is hugely important as a first/important goal. I DO see that landing publicly available services on an ipv6 endpoint is super helpful. Would AWS (or any other cloud provider that's not currently up on the v6 bandwagon) enabling a loadbalanced ipv6 vip for your public service (perhaps not just http/s services even?) be enough to relieve some of the pressure on other parties and move the ball forward meaningfully enough for the cloud providers and their customers? -chris
