.IPv6 support

Satellite deployment and operation in IPv6-only networks are now fully supported.
Dual-stack deployments have not been tested and are not supported.

Provisioning over IPv6 is supported on bare metal hosts. Satellite communication with compute resources over IPv6 has not been tested and is not supported.
For compute resources, you can define the machine outside Satellite on the compute resource and then you can provision the machine as a bare-metal host in Satellite. Defining hosts with IPv6 support directly on compute resources is not supported.

For more information about known issues, see xref:known-issues-ipv6[].

Release Note Status:
Done

All Satellite workflows should be able to work in an environment that has only IPv6 connectivity.

The US Federal government agencies have a mandate to convert to IPv6 (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/M-21-07.pdf). A large portion of Satellite customers are government customers, especially in disconnected environments.

Use Cases

Do we need to support dual-stack environments in order to help customers with transition?
