Cloud providers don't even support ipv6 that well let alone expecting the general public to switch over.


AWS will start charging for most IPV4 addresses next year [1]. And I'd expect other cloud providers to follow AWS' lead here.

This could provide the needed push for the Industry to switch.

GitHub is the most annoying one. It's funny, given how many parts of IPv6 stack are developed here.


The interesting part is that GitHub has already assigned[0] IPv6 addresses to a lot of endpoints of its stack. They just haven't created any AAAA record yet. Perhaps they'll add support for it soon?

The big ones do. Small ones are small for a reason.
