You can disable it when necessary by specifying `--feature-gates="IPv6DualStack=false"`

#### Dual-stack defaults on existing Services

1. When dual-stack is enabled on a cluster, existing Services (whether `IPv4` or `IPv6`) are configured by the control plane to set `.spec.ipFamilyPolicy` to `SingleStack` and set `.spec.ipFamilies` to the address family of the existing Service. The existing Service cluster IP will be stored in `.spec.ClusterIPs`.
