Disable IPv6 on Seed hosts
Only containers running edge services (e.g. Envoy or Nginx) should have global IPv6 addresses. Seed host has privileged access to all containers running on it. Access to Seed hosts is a sensitive security surface that should not be unnecessarily exposed to additional attack vectors. A globally routable IPv6 address is not necessary when Seeds are managed from local network. IPv6 also adds up to 5s to network initialization: systemd/systemd#16547 (comment)
