Cloud NGFW for AWS Pricing
Cloud NGFW pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pricing.
Pay-as-you-go Pricing Model
Cloud NGFW is available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) subscription in the AWS Marketplace. With this model, you pay only for what you
use each month, with all charges consolidated on the invoice you receive from AWS. You
can also enjoy the AWS Marketplace benefits such as consolidated billing Amazon Web Services Enterprise Discount Program (EDP).
For more information, see Link Your PAYG Account with Cloud NGFW
Credits.
You pay an hourly rate for each Cloud NGFW resource. You also pay for the amount of
traffic, billed by the gigabyte, processed by the NGFW resource. Additionally, you pay
an hourly rate and for the amount of traffic processed by your Cloud NGFW resource when
you configure security services add-ons (such as Threat Prevention, Advanced URL
Filtering, DNS Security, or WildFire) or the centralized management add-on (Panorama
management). The rate charged for the traffic also depends on the aggregate traffic
processed by all NGFWs in the tenant during the month (referred to as
tiered traffic
pricing
).Credit Pricing Model
You can procure and associate Cloud NGFW for AWS Credits to your tenant by
paying an upfront cost for a long-term contract of one, two, or three years. You can
procure these credits directly from AWS Marketplace (AWS SaaS contracts) or at a private
price from Palo Alto Networks (AWS Private Offer) or its partners (AWS Consulting
Partner Private Offer). You purchase these credits while taking advantage of AWS
Marketplace benefits such as consolidated billing, AWS EDP, and automated or
configurable renewals. Cloud NGFW credits allow you to consume Cloud NGFW resources in
your tenant at a lower cost up to a specific capacity until your contract expires. See
Subscribe to Cloud NGFW for AWS to learn how to add contract credits.
If your average consumption per month exceeds the purchased
credits, overages are charged at PAYG rates.
If you add Cloud NGFW credits during a free-trial period, your contract starts immediately and
overrides the free trial.

help you determine AWS pricing for your Cloud NGFW tenant.

Metering and Billing
Cloud NGFW consumption translates to pay-as-you-go hourly pricing or as Cloud NGFW
credits as described in the tables below.
Base NGFW Resource Consumption
You pay an hourly rate for each Cloud NGFW resource. You also pay for the amount of
traffic, billed by the gigabyte, processed by the NGFW resource.
Base NGFW Resource | Price (per hour) | Price (per GB) | Equivalent Cloud NGFW Credits | |
Usage Hour | Up to 3 AZs | $ 1.50 | 125.0 | |
Each additional AZ | $ 0.50 | 41.7 | ||

Usage hour
is metered on each NGFW resource
you deploy. Traffic
is metered across all NGFW resources deployed in your
Cloud NGFW tenant.Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) add-on Consumption
Your security services add-on consumption is metered on each NGFW resource for each hour
you have enabled the add-on and for the amount of traffic processed by that NGFW, when
you configured it. The charged rate for the traffic also depends on the aggregate
traffic processed by all NGFWs in the tenant during the month (referred to as
tiered
traffic pricing
).

Usage hour
is metered on each NGFW resource
with CDSS add-on enabled. Centralized Management add-on Consumption
You can use a Panorama virtual appliance to manage policy rules in your Cloud NGFW
tenant. In that case, your centralized management add-on consumption is metered on each
NGFW resource for each hour you have associated with a Panorama appliance and for the
amount of traffic processed by that NGFW, when you configured it. The rate you’re
charged for the traffic also depends on the aggregate traffic processed by all NGFWs in
the tenant during the month (referred to as
tiered traffic pricing
).You don't pay for additional device licenses for managing
policy rules in Cloud NGFW resources. Panorama does not count these NGFW resources
against its managed device license count.
Cloud NGFW sends logs to the same Strata Logging Services
tenant currently associated with your Panorama. You don't pay for additional
storage. When used with Cloud NGFW for AWS, Strata Logging Services automatically
scales along with the Cloud NGFW for AWS resources. As traffic throughput increases
on these Cloud NGFW resources, so does your available storage so that you don't need
to worry about making manual adjustments to storage to save your log
data.

Usage hour
is metered on each NGFW resource
associated with a Panorama virtual appliance.AWS Marketplace Metering Mechanism
Cloud NGFW uses the AWS SaaS subscription pricing model by translating the tenant’s
consumption as
Units
for multiple Custom
dimensions and reports it to AWS
Marketplace as shown in the table below. This mechanism provides the flexibility to
aggregate your entire tenant’s consumption based on a few dimensions. These dimensions
include the deployment hours of all NGFWs, how much traffic they are securing, and how
many security features they use every hour. Cloud NGFW translates the security services
and centralized management consumption to Cloud NGFW credits and reports it as add-on
units to the AWS Metering service.AWS Marketplace | Cloud NGFW SaaS Subscription Price | |
