VM-Series for Microsoft Azure Overview

To help customers address the diverse cloud and virtualization use cases and the growing need for greater performance, the VM-Series has been optimized and expanded to deliver industry-leading performance of up to 16Gbps of App-ID enabled firewall throughput across five models. Customers can protect their cloud and virtualization initiatives with a security feature set that mirrors those protecting their physical networks and delivers a consistent security posture from the network to the cloud.

This reference document links the technical design aspects of Microsoft Azure with Palo Alto Networks solutions and then explores several technical design models. The design models include multiple options with all resources in a single VNet to enterprise-level operational environments that span across multiple VNets using a Transit VNet.

This guide provides a foundation for securing network infrastructure using Palo Alto Networks® VMSeries virtualized next generation firewalls within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud. For an organization with a desire to move to public cloud infrastructure, the next question is often “How do I secure my applications in a public cloud?” This guide provides an overview of AWS components and how they can be used to build a scalable and secure public cloud infrastructure on AWS using the VM-Series. The architectures begin with a single virtual private cloud suitable for organizations getting started and scales to thousands to meet any size organization’s operational requirements.

Provides deployment details for using the VM-Series in the AWS Transit Gateway design model, which is designed to scale for enterprise cloud deployments. The Transit Gateway model provides fully resilient, inbound, east-west and outbound connectivity from subscriber VPCs.

This reference document provides detailed guidance on the requirements and functionality of the Transit VNet design model and explains how to successfully implement that design model using Panorama and Palo Alto Networks® VM-Series firewalls on Microsoft Azure.
