So, the awaited AWS IPv4 charges are almost upon us, and I'm none oo happy, While I appreciate that IPs are scarce and cost some money to have, the ongoing monthly charge is going to hurt small and more cost aware customers the most.

Worse, AWS doesn't have a good way to avoid these charges. While you might want to use something like CloudFront, it needs public IPs to source the content. And if you thought you could use free IPv6 public IPs to avoid charges, nope, sorry -- CF needs IPv4 addresses for origins.
