VM Monitoring with the AWS Plugin on Panorama

Learn how you can use the AWS Plugin on Panorama to secure your AWS deployment.

As you deploy or terminate virtual machines in the AWS public cloud, you need a way to synchronously update Security policy on your Palo Alto Networks® firewall(s) so that you can secure these EC2 instances. To enable this capability from Panorama, you must install the AWS plugin on Panorama and enable API communication between Panorama and your AWS VPCs. Panorama can then collect a predefined set of attributes (or metadata elements) as tags for your EC2 instances and register the information to your Palo Alto Networks® firewall(s). When you reference these tags in Dynamic Address Groups and match against them in Security policy rules, you can consistently enforce policy across all assets deployed within your AWS accounts.
