We use AWS and IPv4 extensively due to our software requirements... we have about 130 v4 addresses currently, AWS are going to add a $4 per month charge for each v4 address which will raise our infra costs by ~$530 per month
I'm looking around at the price for a block, it seems AWS do have BYOIP and a /24 block is ~9k on a certain private auction site (has anyone found lower?)
To me it makes sense to pitch that we just buy a block and route it to AWS, it'll pay for itself within 18 months and we can sell it again if our software devs ever figure our ipv6
Are there any pitfalls here I'm unaware of?
