It is actually in demand by one big customer, the DoD. Amazon is pushing hard to get all its services IPv6 by EOY as of this year’s re:Invent. Something like 98% need to be in place for DoD contracts.

And they’re trying to force people over to IPv6 by charging them per public IPv4 address, so, hopefully that spurs the migration. Larger address counts/space is super useful.
