Ensure that you have the software and licenses required
to complete a VM-Series deployment on Alibaba Cloud.
To deploy the VM-Series firewall on Alibaba Cloud, you
must use a VM-Series image you obtain from the Alibaba Marketplace.
The image incorporates PAN-0S version 10.0.3 and VM-Series plugin
version 2.0.3.
Before you deploy, choose the VM-Series ELA or BYOL license,
a capacity license, and a subscription bundle. See VM-Series Model License Types.
You must be able to SSH into the VM-Series firewall to complete
the deployment. If your OS does not support SSH, install third-party
software, such as Putty.
Alibaba Cloud Instance Type Recommendations for the VM-Series
Firewall
Before creating the VM-Series firewall, you must choose
an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance type that
supports the minimum system requirements for
your VM-Series model. Review the instance type documentation
to ensure the ECS instance type has the resources to secure your
network configuration.
