I ran into the same issue after booting an Azure instance as well. From documentation, it looks that all BIG-IP VE v12.1.0+ use the 8443 port by default. As of this post, the version on Azure is BIG-IP 13.0.0 Build 3.0.1679 Hotfix HF3. In my case when using the iControl.jar, I was seeing a
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "version="1.0""
