Make all services available with IPv6 addresses.
IPv4 addresses are running out and Azure has had a lot of problems with this, resolved by buying IPv4 address pools at a significant cost.
Some users and cloud deployments only require connectivity with on premises networks (either IPv4 or IPv6, not both).
Make IPv6 available for all services and allow the option of choosing what type of addresses are required (IPv4+IPv6 or IPv6 only).
Also, consider:
● Giving each cloud service a /60 (or bigger) instead of a /64;
● Making IPv6 addresses static, since pool depletion is no longer an issue.

Please support Static IPv6 addresses. This is a must have for many scenarios where certain devices do not have dns resolution, and we need a static endpoint for sending data.
