Explore the journey towards IPv6 support in kOps through this informative conference talk. Delve into the design and challenges of implementing turnkey IPv6 Kubernetes infrastructure across various cloud platforms, including AWS. Learn about targeted use cases, chosen network architecture, and address allocation management from kOps maintainers. Gain insights into the components requiring modifications for IPv6 support, both internally and in upstream projects, as well as the bugs and limitations encountered. Discover interesting trivia, such as the reasoning behind the kOps service network's specific address range. Cover topics including the motivation for IPv6, single stack implementation, unique local addresses, global address adoption, custom node IPAM controller, public and private topologies, subnet assignments, ongoing development, GCE support status, and potential CNI evolution for IPv6.
