VM-Series on Google Cloud Platform - Supported GCP Instance Types

This table outlines the compatibility and technical requirements for deploying the VM-Series firewall on specific Google Cloud Platform (GCP) compute infrastructure.

GCP Instance Family	Supported Instance Types	Minimum PAN-OS Version	Notes
Compute Optimized (C-Series)	C3, C4 (Standard, High-CPU, High-Mem)	11.2.8 or later 12.1.5 or later	High-performance instances for compute-bound workloads.
General Purpose (N2)	N2, N2D	10.1 or later	Standard migration path for older N1 deployments.

For VM-Series deployments on Google Cloud, gVNIC support is required for C4 instances. A minimum version of PAN-OS 12.1.5 or later (or 11.2.8 or later in the 11.2 branch) is required to ensure full compatibility with these instance families.
In the C-Series, only Standard C3, C4 instances are supported.
