Deploy the CN-Series Firewall on OKE

Where Can I Use This?
What Do I Need?
  • CN-Series Firewall
    deployment
  • CN-Series 10.1.x or above Container Images
  • Panorama
    running PAN-OS 10.1.x or above version
  • Helm 3.6 or above version client
    for CN-Series deployment using Helm
Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) is an OCI service that allows you to deploy kubernetes cluster. You can now deploy CN-Series firewall on OKE cluster as a daemonset and kubernetes as a service.
After you review the CN-Series Building Blocks and the high-level overview of the workflow in Securing the Kubernetes Environments with CN-Series, you can start deploying the CN-Series firewall on OKE platform to secure traffic between containers within the same cluster, as well as between containers and other workload types such as virtual machines and bare-metal servers.
You need standard Kubernetes tools such as kubectl or Helm to deploy and manage your Kubernetes clusters, apps, and firewall services.
For more information, see deploy CN-Series Firewalls with Helm Charts and Templates. Panorama is not designed to be an orchestrator for Kubernetes cluster deployment and management. Templates for cluster management are provided by Managed Kubernetes providers. Palo Alto Networks provides community-supported templates for deploying CN-Series with Helm and Terraform.
Before moving from deploying CN-Series as a DaemonSet to CN-Series as a Service or vice versa, you must delete and reapply
plugin-serviceaccount.yaml
. For more information, see Create Service Accounts for Cluster Authentication.
  • When you deploy CN-Series as a DaemonSet on OKE, the
    pan-plugin-cluster-mode-secret
    must not exist.
  • When you deploy CN-Series as a Kubernetes service on OKE, the
    pan-plugin-cluster-mode-secret
    must be present.
