IIRC, all GCPs IPv6 support is complicated by the fact that they adopted IPv6 from the get-go for internal routing, and layer the user-visible virtual address space on top of it, embedding the user-visible addresses inside the invisible "actual" VM addresses, and that layering strategy allows for something super amazing or fast or something. Something like that.

So then you ask the engineers, "when are you going to adopt IPv6?" And they're like: "What do you mean? We've never NOT used IPv6 for everything important."

On the one had my GCP server's "native" IP address that the OS sees is always an IPv4 address. On the other hand, it's always in the 10.x.x.x/8 range. Everything else is NAT and LB.
