It's crazy how difficult the migration to IPv6 has been. How many years has it been?

Well the spec was created in 1995 and the 6bone(tunnel based testing network created in 1996) was shutdown in 2006 due to the increase in native routing. That is IPv6 had a sufficient internet presence that the test network no longer felt necessary...and here we are almost 20 years later...soooooooooooo...yeahhhhhhh. Tbh IPv6 has existed for basically the entire existence of the wide spread use of the Internet yet it was never deployed back then.

Meanwhile, GitHub is still IPv4 only...

Would be nice if lambda supported ipv6 for outbound connections, I've been waiting a while.

Hetzner has been doing it for a while.

Honestly what I find kinda crazy about this is the price of $0.005/hr is the same cost as the cheapest EC2 instance, meaning you can get an entire server(low power but still) or a single IP address. Interestingly GCP also charges for in use IPv4 which I didn't know, last I used GCP they only charged for IPs you weren't using
