Sure, but the implementation in the public clouds is totally backwards.

What they should have done is have their core network default to IPv6 with IPv4 an optional add-on for things like public IP addresses, CDN endpoints, edge routers, VPNs, etc...

Instead, their core networks are IPv4 only for the most part with IPv6 a distant afterthought.

IPv6 is the protocol of the future. And will be so.
