Create an NGFW Resource on AWS

Now that you have created rulestacks and rules, you can create an NGFW resource and associate a local rulestack with that NGFW. During the configuration of your NGFW, you must choose how NGFW endpoints are created—automatically or manually. If you chose to manually create NGFW endpoints, you must create NGFW enpoints in the availability zones you specify.
Complete the following steps to create an NGFW.
  1. Select
    NGFWs
    .
  2. Click
    Add Firewall
    .
  3. Enter a descriptive
    Name
    .
  4. (
    Optional
    ) Enter a
    Description
    .
  5. Select an
    AWS Account
    from the drop-down to associate with this NGFW.
  6. Select a
    VPC
    from the drop-down.
  7. In the
    Policy Management
    section, select a
    Local Rulestack
    from the drop-down.
  8. Specify AWS availability zones or subnets. You must specify whether or not the Cloud NGFW tenant will (service-managed mode) or will not (customer-managed mode) deploy NGFW endpoints.
    • Yes
      (service-managed)—in service-managed mode, the Cloud NGFW tenant automatically creates NGFW endpoints in the VPC subnets you specify. Perform the endpoint management for service-managed mode through Cloud NGFW console only. The endpoint management for service-managed mode can only be done by associating or disassociating a subnet. Associating a subnet creates the endpoint and disassociating a subnet removes the endpoint.
    • No
      (customer-managed)—in customer-managed mode, you must manually create NGFW endpoints in each availability zone you specify.
    In the
    Endpoint Management
    section, you can enable your Cloud NGFW for securing traffic in multiple AWS availability zones. You pay for each AWS availability zone that your NGFW is provisioned to secure traffic. You can manage how the endpoints are created for your NGFW in these availability zones. You pay AWS for each VPC (gateway load balancer) endpoint that you create for your NGFW.
  9. Click
    Create
