Al least provide proper IPv6 support before charging for IP addresses.

GCP has marketed their amazing network so its interesting this isn't supported.

What's weird to me is that Google itself has excellent IPv6 support. Every Google web site, API, or other service I've come across fully supports IPv6. Compute Engine VMs are the outlier.

They actually utilize this for their "private Google access" system, which allows you to access Google services from a compute engine VM without a public v4 address. The VM's private v4 address gets mapped into an IPv6 address, along with some extra bytes identifying the customer's network. (You can see this by setting up such a VM and accessing an AppSpot app that echos your source IP.)

Google doesn't use GCP for its major applications. Neither should you.

Hilarious. How poor is the talent on the GCP team that is foremost of your grievances?

Uhh, that's sort of a relevant "grievance" in a thread on GCP issues.

GCP and Infra both have very smart engineers.

Unlike AWS which needs to be good to not go out of business.

Right, because AWS isn’t part of a $900 billion market cap retail behemoth that can weather loses and no profits.
