I just learned there's no IPv6 on Google Cloud, my mind is blown 🤯

@mheiber Because IPv6 is actually hell for datacenters :)

@selea I'd think that only partly applies to Google since they're not using commercially available hardware but their own hardware stacks ..?Also, it's been a while, the lack of IPv6 support in available datacenter hardware (and software!) is really concerning 😳

@mheiber I am more sceptical to IPv6 actually.I mean, as an ISP to protect against malicious traffic over IPv6 is some of the worst things you can do. There is no GeoIP which means you nice geoip filter does not work.The packets is 4 times larger (four times!!!) than IPv4 packets.That primarily makes IPv6 great for killing servers or datacenters.

@selea @astro GCP supports IPv6 at the edge for their Loadbalancers: https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/ipv6Sure, it'd be nice to have internal IPv6 but since they give you a VPC per project, I don't know what you'd need IPv6 in your LAN for.

@selea @astro I'm not against v6, btw. I dig it. But I never found a valid reason to use it for local traffic, especially now where I don't really have to care about IP addresses anymore, thanks to Kubernetes.

@dictvm @selea @astro not everyone is fond of port forwarding and reverse proxies

@astro But that still does not fix the issues IPv6 provides.I am fully aware that IPv6 is needed in some cases, for example - if you want to publish an app on apple appstore - it needs to work over IPv6 too.@dictvm For local traffic, IPv6 is completely overkill yeah :)I personally dont know k8s that much, but I want to learn to set it up correctly.

@selea @astro @dictvm Ah, the reason for using IPv6 is the Appstore!

@astro That list very useless actually, when anyone can grab an IPv6 range makes it very inaccurate sadly

@astro why not? It's much easier to scale up, intercept/route traffic for your app and whatnot. :) @selea

@dictvm I bet you know better than me when it comes to scaling and IPv6 :)I only speak from a ISP/Datacenter perspective.@astro

@selea grab an IPv6 range?
