of all of the other VMs in the same security group, but you cannot ping the VMs
in the other security group.

Note that whilst the VMs should be able to reach other (security group
configuration permitting), they are not expected to have external connectivity
unless appropriate routing has been set up:

- For outbound access, you need to ensure that your VMs can send traffic to
your border gateway router (typically this will be the case, because usually
your compute hosts will be able to do so). The border gateway can then
perform SNAT.

- For inbound connections, you need assign a publically routable IP address to
your VM - that is, attach it to a network with a public IP address. You will
also need to make sure that your border router (and any intermediate routers
between the border router and the compute host) can route to that address
too. The simplest way to do that is to peer the border router with the route
reflector on the controller.
