Description
Firewall rules can currently be one of TCP, UDP or ICMP. However, Azure does not support a direct ICMP property: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-nsg
Instead, you have to allow all traffic with * and explicitly disable TCP and UDP to simulate ICMP.
GCE seems to support ICMP.
Potential solutions:
1. Allow TCP and UDP only
2. Attempt to simulate ICMP in Azure.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Begin with the firewall-rule interface described in the issue and the linked Azure NSG documentation, then compare it with GCE's stated ICMP support. Done requires choosing and implementing a consistent cross-cloud behavior between allowing only TCP/UDP and simulating ICMP in Azure.
