Auto Scaling the VM-Series-firewall on Azure
Palo Alto Networks now provides templates to help you deploy an auto-scaling tier of VM-Series firewalls using several Azure services such as Virtual Machine Scale Sets, Application Insights, Azure Load Balancers, Azure functions, Panorama and the Panorama plugin for Azure, and the VM-Series automation capabilities including the PAN-OS API and bootstrapping. The templates allow you to leverage the scalability features on Azure that are designed to manage sudden surges in demand for application workload resources by independently scaling the VM-Series firewalls with the changing workloads.
