Review: spoke can't reach a hub API
vm-spoke1 can't reach the reporting API on vm-hub at 443.
- Get vm-spoke1 reaching vm-hub on 443
- Keep SSH (22) from vm-spoke1 to vm-hub blockedbroken
Background
vm-spoke1 (10.1.1.4, in vnet-spoke1) needs the reporting API on vm-hub (10.0.1.4, in vnet-hub) on port 443. The peering between the two networks shows Connected, and nsg-shared on vm-hub's subnet already allows 443 from vnet-spoke1. It still fails. More than one thing is wrong. Working means 443 gets through while SSH (22) from vm-spoke1 stays closed.

Prove the problem yourself before you change anything. Reports are often wrong.
VM commands forVMsssh vm-spoke1What's this?
Opens a shell on vm-spoke1, so the next commands run on that VM. In this lab it's a shortcut. In real Azure you'd connect through something like Azure Bastion, or SSH to an address you can reach.
nc -zv 10.0.1.4 443What's this?
netcat, a standard Linux tool. Tries to open a TCP connection and reports whether it worked.
