When AWS rolled out plans to start charging for IPv4 addresses:

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address...

"As you may know, IPv4 addresses are an increasingly scarce resource and the cost to acquire a single public IPv4 address has risen more than 300% over the past 5 years. This change reflects our own costs and is also intended to encourage you to be a bit more frugal with your use of public IPv4 addresses and to think about accelerating your adoption of IPv6 as a modernization and conservation measure."

Their move disgusted me and I moved from AWS to OCI.

What disgusted you about it? I'm out of the loop

They hadn't bothered to add ipv6 support to most of their services and the ones that did have it usually were only dual stack - still requiring an ipv4 address.

They didn't require you to have a public IPv4 address. Just an IPv4 address.

		Which requires dual-stack and all the issues that come with it, especially with private addresses.

That sounds like a failure in every direction. I see why you moved

It was clearly a corporate money grab, not an altruistic motion as they made it sound.
