Overview
VM-Series, when combined with native AWS services, enable you to create "touchless" deployments and allow your developers to operate at the speed of the cloud. VM-Series protects your applications and data using whitelisting and segmentation policies that are dynamically updated based on AWS tags, allowing you to reduce the attack surface area and achieve compliance. Additionally, threat prevention policies can stop both known and unknown attacks.
For BYOL listing, VM-Series license is not included. Please contact your Palo Alto Networks sales representative or channel partner.

- Dynamic and large scale deployments can be protected using AWS Auto Scaling/ELB integration and Transit VPC with AWS Transit Gateway and Gateway Load Balancer
- Amazon GuardDuty and AWS Security Hub integration enables the VM-Series to automatically block potentially malicious activity

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Additional details
Usage instructions
See documentation for detailed steps to set admin password before using the web interface of VM-Series. Once the instance is running, connect to it using a SSH client with the private key file used to launch the instance. For example: ssh -i <privatekey.pem> admin@<EIP or private IP of eth0> Then use the PAN-OS CLI commands "configure", "set mgt-config users admin password" and "commit" commands to set the password.

Customer reviews
AMI Catalog is unreliable
Be careful when you build out auto-scaling groups based on an AMI in the catalog and then lo and behold, you find out the hard way (yes, when a scale out occurs but fails) that the AMI you've been using is no longer offered in the catalog. No notification, no warnings. Discovery through failed deployment.
Overall a good experience.
Designed to scale from small to very large environments with flexible throughput options.
For smaller environments or those with tight budgets, this might be a significant barrier.
