Bug Description
api.snapcraft.io (and perhaps other related services?) have no AAAA records, and so are inaccessible to users on ipv6 only network, or where ipv6 takes priority.
Can we please enable ipv6 access to the store?

Hello,
I'll make this a duplicate of an existing bug but wanted to comment: it's not just a matter of assigning IPv6 addresses and AAAA records to our existing hostnames. Parts of the software directly driving api.snapcraft.io would need to be adjusted to account for IPv6, but more importantly, the cloud infrastructure on which the store services are hosted is not IPv6-ready.
I'll bring this up when possible to see if we can schedule some work to this end. However, to ensure expectations are realistic, it's not trivial and might take a yet-undetermined, long amount of time.
