events to log streams. The new logs make it easier to debug failed
deployments or determine when a successful deployment is ready to process
traffic.

- Base OS start and network initialization
- PAN-OS bootstrap
- PAN-OS start
- Management interface swap (if applicable)

- Panorama registration, Panorama connected (if applicable)
- System ready and interfaces up
- To improve debugging and aid automation, this release generates live health failure updates and periodic updates in AWS CloudWatch, making it easier to set alarms, or program automated responses to health events.
