  1. Use Configuration Manager to enable TCP/IP connections and listen on port 1433.
  2. Add a Windows Firewall rule allowing inbound traffic on port 1433.
  3. Configure the VM's Network Security Group to allow inbound traffic on port 1433.

I did everything but I was missing the TCP port in the configuration manager of the SQL server. Thanks, it is fixed.
Yep. Developer and Express Edition don't have TCP/IP enabled by default, as they are often installed on developer desktops.
