I was about to say. Cause they can't figure out IPV6 either. Their K8 and VPC networking is still not IPv6 complaint last I checked. If you're bored you can get this [extention](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ipvfoo/ecanpcehffn...) and see just how much of the internet is actually IPv6

GKE can use IPv6 now

Do you have a link for any docs on that? Last I looked it was a weird hack using LB that translated IPv6 to K8s' native IPV4

GCP supports enough IPv6 that you can host sites on it with an external IPv6 address. The user's internal network addresses might be IPv4, but that's (hopefully?) a detail not exposed to the public internet.

As evidence, my personal website https://john-millikin.com runs on a GCP e2-micro and is reachable from IPv6-only clients.

Azure does as well, it's only partially functional though, for example ICMP doesn't work.

Azure doesn't have a good ICMP implementation even on IPv4.

I guess Vint Cerf wasn't hired by Google to provide any kind of input about TCP/IP or future of it.

Lorenzo Colitti is Google's IPv6 czar but when supporting IPv6 costs (hundreds of) millions of dollars, "input" is not enough. There needs to be a business case which there really isn't so far.

the lack of ipv4 addresses is becoming a good reason to make the switch.

Vint was a trophy for the Google founders; they could, so they did. Zuckerberg no doubt got a similar thrill out of having purchased Carmack's employment.

Your comment belittles the hard work Vint puts in every day. He could easily retire but is still amazingly energetic and engaged. Downvoted.

I don't think GP comment belittles Vint. It belittles Google, for just hiring him for his name and not for his expertise. Vint is very vocal about IPv6 adaptation, yet it sounds like his opinion seems to be treated as if he was some kind of intern there. "Cool Vint, you do your stuff, publish your papers and we do our stuff".

Facebook got the only mainstream VR device as well.
