- whiatp 3y agoWith all that investment in addresses I'm surprised AWS is still the first cloud provider to charge for them. (As far as I know.) It will be interesting to see if other cloud providers will follow, and if the cloud providers compete over the price or just match AWS. It kind of feels like AWS charging for V4s will "give permission" to other providers to charge. I'm also curious if the price will come down over time as addresses are yielded back. I guess it depends on if their goal is to recoup all the money they spent on addresses, or just to avoid running out.
- wmf 3y agoAWS is the last major cloud to start charging, not the first.
- whiatp 3y agoAh, should have googled. I stand corrected.
- CyanLite2 3y agoGCP and Azure have always charged for IPv4 addresses. If anything, AWS was the last of the public cloud providers to provide them for free.
- Gigachad 3y agoI've even seen small VPS hosts have discount plans if you turn off the v4 address.
