When they launch an instance on a IPv6-enabled subnet, cloud-init sets the `ipv6.method` to `dhcp` in NetworkManager. However, AWS uses router advertisements to let instances know about the nearest router. Using the `ipv6.method: dhcp` setting prevents router advertisements from working. The instance ends up with an IPv6 address assigned, but it cannot route traffic. A workaround is to run NetworkManager commands to fix the issue: ``` nmcli con edit CONNECTION_UUID nmcli> set ipv6.method auto nmcli> save nmcli> activate ``` The instance immediately routes IPv6 traffic after making that change. The dhcp setting appears to be applied automatically for EC2 subnets with IPv6 addresses assigned[1]. I would expect `ipv6.method` to be `auto` in these situations. Thank you!
