Is there any particular reason you need IPv6? I get the whole IPv4 exhaustion thing, but if AWS can figure out a way to get me an IPv4 address when I need it, this seems preferable to dealing with IPv6.


IPv6 is provably faster, especially for mobile clients. iOS 9/10 also prefer it and the App Store has begun requiring apps to work on full v6 stacks, meaning any end points in AWS will require 6to4 somewhere.


From my experience, some (Virgin Media in IE) ISPs with IPv4 CGNAT have a slower/less reliable IPv4 connectivity than with native IPv6.
