Which is frustrating enough, but I’ve heard rumors that AWS’ (and other cloud) providers sometimes do weird things with routing, so ICMP doesn’t even take the same path as TCP traffic. Other times ICMP is just blocked somewhere along the way. I recommend TCPPing or similar for doing investigations.

Just wait until you see the fun they have with edge termination where they terminate ICMP at the edge while letting TCP/UDP into the core.
