Is ipv4 depletion an issue for the big cloud providers (Amazon , Google, DigitalOcean, Rackspace)? How many ips do they have left?

The most widely known is Azure, when they had to shuffle addresses around:

Google already started charging a nominal fee for idle IPv4 addresses: https://cloud.google.com/sql/, search for "Idle IPv4 address"

Amazon landed the largest address transfer that I'm aware of to date (a /10) when du Pont chopped up 52/8. Reddit mentioned it, but I didn't see news on it:
