I agree, it seems strange that these ports are open, which is why I wrote this up. I spoke with Microsoft on the phone and they confirmed that the ports must be open for their SLA checks and monitoring to work properly.

To reconfirm this, I ran a quick test and saw these ports open by default after I configured an application gateway on my account.

Yeah... It's all quite odd.

Apparently they don’t have a mechanism to permit their own addresses because the probes come from dynamic addresses. It sounded like they were adding this as a predefined label in the future.
