Prisma SD-WAN supports creating bulk site configurations that allow you to create tailored site templates that cater to your deployment requirements, allowing you to efficiently deploy branches and data centers at scale. A site template is a predefined blueprint containing a list of variables that encompasses all the necessary configurations for creating fully operational sites and devices. You can deploy multiple sites using an existing template, edit an existing one, or create a new template to deploy sites.

Here's the workflow for creating site templates.

You can pre-provision sites before an ION device is available to accelerate the deployment. The device shell allows you to create elements, visualize the network, and do simple configurations. If you don't have a physical device at the time of deployment, a virtual configuration–device shell–is created associating a device to a site which can be later assigned to a device.
