MicrosoftFeedback on Office 365 IP/URL Web Services Preview
MicrosoftKyounghwan Lee here are answers to your questions:
>> First of all, will you stop publishing the current HTML, XML, and RSS format of

Yes.
>> How the each service area of the current item will be applied in the service area
>> of the new item, please inform us in more detail.
This reduction in the service areas is intended to simplify network connectivity work required for Office 365. It also avoids support issues related to unpublished dependencies between services.

The only change that you are required to do is to start taking changes from the web services instead of from the XML/RSS published data. All future changes to Office 365 network endpoints will be advertised through the web services.

The new categories make firewall, proxy server, and other network perimeter device configuration simpler. In particular, the default category can be directed to the default Internet egress location with any other employee web browser traffic. However, you can simply permit connectivity and bypass for all Office 365 network traffic and disregard the categories. Please review details of the new categories at http://aka.ms/pnc

I really appreciate all the advice you gave me on how to update new Web service.
>>The only change that you are required to do is to start taking changes from the >>web services instead of from the XML/RSS published data.
Simply, I understand that the XML/ RSS data that has been published so far will be switched to new Web service.
I understand that I can permit connectivity and bypass for all Office 365 network traffic and disregard the categories (Optimize, Allow, and Default).
As for the factors you pointed out, we will certainly correspond them when we update the next new Web service.
