Why do Google employees get public IPv4 addresses for their dev machines? Aren’t we running out of IP addresses?


No, we are not running out of IP addresses. We have run out of IP addresses, past tense; they are all allocated. Any IP allocations these days are just recycling old addresses given back to RIRs.

But of course Google has large stockpile of IPs already so they are not really impacted the same way others might be.
