Microsoft employee here - I don’t work specifically on the networking side of Azure but this is really good feedback that I’ll share with the product teams.


I do not and did not work for Microsoft, but love this very attitude.


Well, it’s pointless, really. They’ve been given feedback that blocking I Mp is harmfulmsince 2011 and it’s done no good.


Disclaimer: I have worked for Azure in the past -not anymore- and specifically in Networking.

Do you have evidence that they've been saying they block ICMP because of security reasons that I can forward to the right folks? I can help getting this feedback to them to correct that, because I can guarantee 100% that's not the reason why ICMP is not forwarded by the SLB (and engineering/PM would never say it's for security reasons).


I don’t know why they do it and I didn’t say it’s because of security. It’s harmful enough to my experience that I haven’t used them since.
