Review proposed VPC spokes

As a hub administrator, you can review and subsequently accept or reject pending VPC spokes that a spoke administrator has proposed in a different project from the hub.

After a spoke is accepted or rejected, you can reject it or accept it as many times as necessary by running the commands described on this page.
