Public bug reported:

The Azure data source documentation (topics/datasources/azure.rst.txt)
has the following:

Azure provides the `instance metadata service (IMDS)
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/instance-metadata-service>`_
which is a REST service on ``196.254.196.254`` providing additional
configuration information to the instance. 

However, the Azure documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-
us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/instance-metadata-service lists the IP
address as 169.254.169.254, which makes more sense given how
169.254.169.254 is of the link-local reserved addresses and
196.254.196.254 is the University of the Free State in South Africa.
