As I understand it you can get some funky level of IPv6 on some of the =
older
AWS products. I'm glad to hear that BING is now on IPv6. Guess they were
getting scroogled for that failure. ;-)
At least so far, this remains a problem:

(IMHO, the above is bigger problem than the AWS failures to implement
IPv6).
