Do the other cloud providers give you IPv4 endpoints for free? I didn't think that was the case. (ie I thought AWS was just falling into line with the others on charging).

As for the "critical services not supporting IPv6" in the post I was quite surprised that it's such a short list of things that don't work - I would have expected more. They've obviously made a ton of progress.

> Examples include:

I get the feeling this is far from an exhaustive list. I think this person just mentioned two things that they had run into and could say didn’t support IPv6 without having to look it up.

Azure and Google Cloud don't, and they didn't have full ipv6 support when making the change either

But did they tell you to "think about accelerating your adoption of IPv6 as a modernization and conservation measure" when they announced the charges? Because AWS did.

Hetzner is charging 0.50€/month, compared to AWS's $3.60/month. Which I guess is in line with the usual price difference between the two, but usually AWS does a better job justifying the price difference.

Oracle Cloud does. Linode did, I don't know if they still do. I believe Vultr may. It would take some time for someone to research all cloud providers.

Linode still does. I’m running a business on it (and moving personal stuff over from DigitalOcean). The pricing/performance value proposition on Linode has been fantastic.
