...I did read the article, what do ALBs have anything to do with what I said? Or are you just assuming that no one needs non-HTTP services running in a VPC load balanced over IPv6?
HTTP is the new skinny waist of the internet.
90s: We can inter network the world with IP!
00s: ISP's won't do SCTP, but TCP and UDP work fine
10s: eh gonna have to use https ...
In 80 years we're back to the 90s so relax.
And even for HTTP services ALB doesn't completely replace ELB. Last time I looked at it, ALB didn't integrate with autoscaling groups.
