Next, create the firewall rule that exposes TCP port 15672. Set the Name of the new rule to “allow-tcp-15672”. Select your network that you intend to bind to your VM (default is “autoscaling-net” but your organization might have others).

Set Direction of traffic to “Ingress”. Set Allow on match to “Allow” and Targets to “Specified target tags”. Enter “allow-tcp-15672” in the Target tags text field. Set Source IPv4 ranges to “0.0.0.0/0”.

The network firewall rule is now created and you can continue with the VM creation.
