Problem Description

A blueprint deployment commences but fails to complete after virtual machine resources are successfully instantiated.

Cause

The virtual machine has been deployed to a network where a firewall (eg. Azure Network Security Group, AWS Security Group) had been implemented but port 22 has not been allowed inbound resulting in the Broker being unable to execute orchestration scripts.

The following screenshot shows an example where port 22 rule is missing from an Azure NSG.

Resolution

Add the required port rule to allow inbound connections to port 22.

The following screenshot shows an example of this rule in an Azure NSG.
