*When you launch the VM-Series firewall corresponding to this plan, it automatically learns the underlying Azure VM's compute resources and unlocks itself to the right VM-Series model (VM-300, VM-500, or VM-700).

**You can launch the VM-Series firewall model corresponding to this plan on an Azure VM size that provides more resources than the minimum requirements. However, the firewall will not be able to take advantage of additional memory or CPU cores. If you launch the firewall model on an Azure VM size that does not meet the minimum requirements, the firewall will boot in maintenance mode.

VM-Series now offers support for Azure v6 instances, beginning with PAN-OS 12.1.2 and subsequent versions. The following are the recommended instance types.

When creating the VM, you must set the security type to Standard. Trusted Launch security type is not currently supported.
