ICMP Support for Azure StandardV2 NAT Gateway

Our customers, across all industries, depend on consistent outbound connectivity and observability to operate and troubleshoot their cloud workloads at scale. As Azure environments grow in size and complexity, teams increasingly rely on standard network diagnostic tools such as ping to quickly validate reachability and identify connectivity issues. When customers route outbound traffic through Azure NAT Gateway, they benefit from centralized and scalable outbound connectivity designed to prevent SNAT port exhaustion, while simplifying management by removing the need for per‑resource public IPs.
