I think it’s not exactly money, but avoiding a scenario where their business can be held hostage by a company which in practice is trying to force them into a commercial license.
Notice that AWS is far from being alone in this move, as the massive support around Valley shows.
Honestly what I find kinda crazy about this is the price of $0.005/hr is the same cost as the cheapest EC2 instance, meaning you can get an entire server(low power but still) or a single IP address. Interestingly GCP also charges for in use IPv4 which I didn’t know, last I used GCP they only charged for IPs you weren’t using
Well the spec was created in 1995 and the 6bone(tunnel based testing network created in 1996) was shutdown in 2006 due to the increase in native routing. That is IPv6 had a sufficient internet presence that the test network no longer felt necessary…and here we are almost 20 years later…soooooooooooo…yeahhhhhhh. Tbh IPv6 has existed for basically the entire existence of the wide spread use of the Internet yet it was never deployed back then.
Yeah, I hate it. I’d want some sort of SAML SSO auth in front of the actual RDS Gateway to allow you to use whatever identity provider and MFA you already have.
You really don’t want to allow all manner of auth attempts able to be made against your actual workload servers, which is what it sounds like you are describing.
