Which is, fundamentally, half the problem with IPv6 in AWS. I'd have much preferred that they'd added the ability to do actually-useful IPv6 routing rather than IPv6-only subnets, which strikes me as more of a toy than something *actually* useful.
Yeah, they don't even have a practical way to implement a firewall instance for IPv6. Unless you want to mirror 1:many NAT for IPv6 like you do IPv4. You just can't route an IPv6 block to an instance. And with 1:many NAT you wouldn't want public IP addresses inside but AWS doesn't let you assign ULA addresses inside the subnet, only global addresses.
