That's new. Last time I tried to get an IPv6 address for an EC2 instance it was either impossible or you had to set up this complicated virtual network thing depending on where your EC2 instance was physically hosted.

Yup, they rolled out IPv6 support across several services in January 2017: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-ipv6-update-global-supp...

AWS will give each VPC a /56, and each subnet a /64

Again, the thing I would like to see is being able to either peer only ipv6 for VPCs, or have a VPC that is ipv6 only. That to me will greatly increase flexibility and simplicity if I'm ok with an ipv6-only deployment
