On: Do You Need IPv4 Anymore?

So you fall in the more than 65,000 servers camp then.

Of course it's great for ephemeral stuff. It's just that most people don't have that problem and it's a huge pain to use it for anything else.

So no, I haven't.

Spoken like a person who clearly never had to peer two vpcs that just happened to have intersecting subnets

A lot of people run containers these days. It’s not unusual to have endpoints in the tens of thousands or more and there are other considerations that make ipv4 management hard/impossible

Yeah, I have. Not that big of a deal. Most of it's just good network planning. We were able to get around the problem.

And I manage a kubernetes container stack. It's simple, you NAT k8s connections to the outside network, or more likely use an nginx ingress.
