Congratulations for missing the point Matt, when I sent my email (which by the way went for moderation) there wasn't a discussion about Classic vs VPC yet. The discussion was "no ipv6 in AWS" which is not true as I mentioned in my previous email. I did not state it works everywhere, but it does work. In fact as Owen mentioned the following, I assumed he is talking about Classic because this statement is only true there. In VPC you can define your own IP subnets and it can overlap with other customers, so basically everyone can have their own 10.0.0.0/24 for example. "They are known to be running multiple copies of RFC-1918 in disparate localities already. In terms of scale, modulo the nightmare that must make of their management network and the fragility of what happens when company A in datacenter A wants to talk to company A in datacenter B and they both have the same 10-NET addresses" Andras On Sun, May 31, 2015 at 7:18 PM, Matt Palmer <mpalmer@hezmatt.org> wrote:

Congratulations, you've managed to find exactly the same info as Owen already covered:
"Load balancers in a VPC support IPv4 addresses only."
and
"Load balancers in EC2-Classic support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses."
