Virtualization Features
Describes all the exciting new capabilities in PAN-OS®
9.2 for the VM-Series firewall.
New Virtualization Features | Description |
---|---|
Containerized Next-Generation Firewall
for Securing Kubernetes Deployments | As you adopt Kubernetes and containers for application
development and operational agility, you can now automate the deployment
of the next-generation firewalls in environments such as OpenShift,
native Kubernetes, GKE, AKS, or EKS, using native Kubernetes constructs.
The CN-Series firewall is the containerized form factor of the next-generation
firewall that provides complete Layer 7 visibility, application-level
segmentation, and protection from advanced threats for traffic going
between trust zones in public cloud or data center environments.
The containerized form factor has a distributed PAN-OS architecture
with CN-Mgmt and CN-NGFW pods that integrate into your CI/CD pipeline
and help you secure traffic going from containerized applications
running in Kubernetes clusters to VMs, bare metal servers, or to
other containerized applications. The CN-Series firewall requires
Panorama and the Kubernetes plugin on Panorama to enable centralized
management, licensing, and security policy enforcement. Panorama
and the CN-Series firewall use the Kubernetes APIs for a tight integration
whereby the CN-NGFW pods that you deploy as a DaemonSet, use CNI-chaining
for integrating into the container namespace and retrieve Kubernetes
labels for enabling metadata-driven policies with dynamic address groups
in Security policy. |
Automatic Site License Activation on the
VM-Series Firewalls with Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) | To support the automatic license activationworkflows
for VM-Series use cases such as bootstrapping and autoscaling, the
site licenses for AutoFocus and Cortex Data Lake can now be automatically
activated for the Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) marketplace firewalls. With
the support for enterprise wide (site) licenses on the VM-Series PAYG
firewalls, these firewalls can now access the cloud-based threat
intelligence service (AutoFocus) and logging infrastructure (Cortex
Data Lake) within your enterprise. When you provide the auto-registration
pin ID and value as part of the bootstrapping process, the firewall
is automatically registered to the Customer Support Account so that it
can retrieve the site licenses that have already been registered
on the Customer Support Portal. You can also manually retrieve the
license directly on the firewall. |
Panorama Support for Multiple IP-Tag Sources | Panorama now supports security policies
within the same device group for multiple IP-tag sources, such as
AWS, VMware NSX, and Cisco TrustSec plugins. If you have Panorama
monitoring VMs in multiple cloud environments or receiving IP-tags
from other sources, you can now aggregate and push them to the appropriate
device groups. |
vMotion Support for the VM-Series Firewall
on VMware ESXi and VMware NSX-T (Available with
PAN-OS 10.0.1 and later releases) | You can now use VMware’s vMotion functionality to move the VM-Series firewall deployed in ESXi or NSX-T without impacting active traffic sessions. |
Traffic Inspection for Pods with Multiple
Network Interfaces using Multus CNI (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.1 and later releases) | In OpenShift deployments where application pods have multiple interfaces, you can configure the CN-Series firewall to inspect traffic from all the interfaces or a selected number of interfaces. To secure traffic going through secondary interfaces on a multi-homed pod, the Multus container networking interface (CNI) is required with a bridge-based connection to the additional networks. |
5G-Native Security on CN-Series (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.3 and later releases) | To secure the highly distributed 5G networks, including
edge clouds and across multi-vendor and multi-cloud environments,
you can enable network slice security, equipment ID security,
and subscriber ID security on
the CN-Series. Security policy rules and correlation based on 5G
network slice, equipment ID, and subscriber ID are supported. You can
also enable RAN-based security with SCTP and GTP Security for 5G
user-plane tunnel content inspection and threat prevention. The CN-Series firewall is
supported on VMWare's VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) platform
with the Intel x710, macvlan and Multus CNI's available as part
of TKG - SR-IOV. |
Tagged VLAN Traffic Inspection on CN-Series (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.4 and later releases) | You can now configure the CN-Series firewall to inspect tagged VLAN traffic on your containerized network. |
Overlay Routing for the VM-Series Firewall
Integrated with the AWS Gateway Load Balancer (Available
with PAN-OS 10.0.5 and later releases) | You can now Enable Overlay Routing for the VM-Series on AWS integrated with Gateway Load Balancer. Using overlay routing in your VM-Series firewall integration the AWS GWLB allows you to use two-zone policy to inspect traffic leaving (egressing) your AWS environment. |
