Virtual ION Licensing and Token Management

Lets see about the Virtual ION Licensing and Token Management in Prisma SD-WAN virtual GCP CloudBlades.
For virtual form factors in Prisma SD-WAN, the instance(s) are bound to an authorization token. This provides a set of controls to prevent unauthorized virtual devices to be added to an environment.
In order to deploy a Virtual ION using the Prisma SD-WAN deployment template in GCP, you must first log in to the Prisma SD-WAN portal and generate a token for the appropriate model.
Only a Super User role can generate the authorization tokens.
  1. Log in to the Prisma SD-WAN portal and select SettingsION License ManagementManage Tokens.
  2. Create Create Token.
    Single-use or Multi-use tokens can be generated through the Prisma SD-WAN portal. If deploying more than one ION device of the same model type within a 48-hour period, select Multi Use token, otherwise select Single Use token.
  3. Copy the ION Key and Secret Key that will be used during the AWS deployment. These are mapped to the values of ion_key and secret_key in the AWS environment.
