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.
VM-Series now supports DPDK on the C5, C5n, M5, and M5n instances, running on the AWS Nitro System, to efficiently process traffic and offer increased performance. In addition, Panorama (available separately in Marketplace) allows the VM-Series to be managed centrally alongside our firewall appliances to maintain security policies that are consistent with on-premises environments.
There are three PAYG bundles available. The licenses includes are as follows: Bundle 1: VM-Series+Threat Prevention+USG (US Government) Support Bundle 2: VM-Series+Threat Prevention+URL Filtering+DNS Security+Global Protect+WildFire+USG (US Government) Support.

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.

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.

Easy deployment to secure Cloud workloads
New user experience for threat prevention and Logging
In most cloud environments, security teams lack clear insights into blocked threats, making incident response slow. After enabling Threat Prevention, I saw multiple intrusion attempts targeting exposed SSH ports.
The logs showed attack patterns (e.g., brute-force attempts from suspicious IPs in Russia & China).
Limited, but interesting.
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.
