AWS to start charging for IPv4 usage, but critical services don't support IPv6
Don't overlook SSM <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/session-...> which doesn't require sshd nor public access to get onto a machine and one can opt in to a bunch of audit logging if that's your jam. It's just a small bonus that one can also hop onto an instance from the AWS Console when using SSM, since it is websocket based and not "ssh from the browser"
The agent is Apache 2 if one wanted to build, enhance, or audit what it does: https://github.com/aws/amazon-ssm-agent#readme as is the local binary that awscli uses for the websocket handshaking: https://github.com/aws/session-manager-plugin#readme
