this point keeps coming up... I don't see that 'overlapping ipv4' matters at all here. it is presented to the customer (vm oeprator) as 'a flat-ish lan' where you poke from machine to machine via names.
(so it seems like a rathole/FUD-problem we can just stop talking about now)

I have deployed services in clouds where the overlapping RFC1918 space did present challenges to the software stack that was trying to exchange node reachability as IP/port. So yes, there were and still are cases where existing software that is not aware of potential overlapped assignments can break. Matthew Kaufman
