Auto Scaling the VM-Series Firewall on Azure

Learn about the how the VM-Series firewalls can be part of an infrastructure that can automatically scale-in or scale-out secure your dynamic application workloads.
In PAN-OS 10.0.x and later, auto scaling the VM-Series firewall on Azure is described as part of Panorama-Orchestrated Deployments.
Palo Alto Networks provides templates to help you deploy an auto-scaling tier of VM-Series firewalls using Azure services such as Virtual Machine Scale Sets, Application Insights, Azure load balancers, Azure functions, Panorama and the Panorama plugin for Azure, and VM-Series automation capabilities—including the PAN-OS API and bootstrapping. The templates leverage Azure scalability features designed to manage sudden surges in demand for application workload resources, allowing you to independently scale the VM-Series firewalls in response to changing workloads.
