Day Two Cloud 144: The State Of IPv6 In Public Cloud

Today’s Day Two Cloud explores the vastness of IPv6 and public cloud. IPv6 provides so much address space that you can do things such as use an address once for one connection and never use it again, and it isn’t wasteful. The abundance of IPv6 may influence how you approach cloud applications and networks. Let your creative juices flow! Our guest is Scott Hogg, CTO at Hexabuild and co-host of the IPv6 Buzz podcast. We discuss: * Current IPv6 deployment and adoption in the major public clouds * The technical advantages of offering an IPv6 public endpoint * Do I really need IPv6 internally? * Are there differences in IPv6 offerings for PaaS and IaaS? * Whether you can run a pure IPv6 virtual network in the cloud, or is it still going to be dual-stack? * More Takeaways: There are more IPv6 features in AWS, Azure, and OCI than you probably realized. You should be testing IPv6 in your Dev/Test environments today.

And today we’re talking IPV Six. There’s so much space out there. What is going on in the world of cloud with IPV Six? We have a very special guest, Scott Hogan, the CTO of Hexaville, and also the host of IPV Six Buzz, to bring us up to speed on what’s going on. Ethan, what stuck out to you? [00:00:25.160] – Ethan Well, I’ve been listening to the IPV Six Buzz podcast is one of my don’t miss shows. And one of the things that came up in a recent episode that we’re going to touch on here is just how much address space is out there. So if you’re building an app, you can do things like use an address once for one connection and never use it again. And that wasn’t wasteful. Honestly, if you’re coming from the IPV Four world, it’s a bit mind blowing. And Scott takes us through that concept and a lot of other things about how realistically we can adopt IPV Six when we’re using public cloud and dependent on a lot of public cloud services because we all want to be there. We want the future to be now, but it isn’t 100% now. [00:01:04.770] – Ned Ned, when I started adopting the cloud and I got a Slash 16,...
