This reference document links the technical design aspects of the Google Cloud Platform with Palo Alto Networks solutions and then explores several technical design models. The design models include a model with all instances in a single project to enterprise-level operational environments that span across multiple projects using Shared VPC.

This reference document provides detailed guidance on the requirements and functionality of the Shared VPC design model and explains how to successfully implement that design model using Panorama and Palo Alto Networks® VM-Series firewalls on Google Cloud Platform.

Provides deployment details for using the VM-Series in the GCP VPC Network Peering design model, which centralizes security resource management while allowing administrators of peered projects to manage their network resources independently. This design model is also useful when you want to provide security to existing disparate projects.

This guide outlines the challenges Defense agencies face and methods they can use to integrate the Palo Alto Networks ecosystem into the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) to fight modern threats, meet current and future security objectives, and improve cyber resilience and operations.
