CN-Series System Requirements for the Kubernetes Cluster
| Where Can I Use This? | What Do I Need? |
|---|---|
|

Here are recommended system requirements for deploying the CN-Series across its multiple
supported modes:
PAN-OS 10.1
The following table shows the system
requirements for the cluster on which the CN-Series is deployed.
These values are general guidelines for CPU, memory, and disk storage;
the amount of resources you deploy might vary depending on your
needs.
The CN-Series Medium is not available for the CN-Series
as a Daemonset.

PAN-OS 10.2
Here are our recommended system requirements for deploying the CN-Series firewall
across its multiple supported modes.
5G-Native Security is exclusively supported on Daemonset and Kubernetes CNF Mode.
The memory and core combinations for CN-MGMT and CN-NGFW applies to Small, Medium,
and Large respectively. The combination of Small, Medium, and Large pertaining to
CN-MGMT maps directly with respective CN-NGFW.
