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.

Installing virtual PA firewalls on Nutanix, VMWare
Reviewed on Mar 13, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The VM-series firewalls worked as intended, and we were able to automate the installation of them as well. I liked the level of integration there was with ansible for configuring the firewall settings. This was very useful when running throughput testing across a variety of firewall configurations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing was complicated, and this created difficulties when trying to automate the installation of the firewalls. It was challenging to try to automate VM-series firewalls using Terraform, especially for VMWare, because of the need to attach an additional CD with the pre-configuration settings.
Also, the VM-series seems to be well-optimized for VMWare, but not really for KVM-based hypervisors like Nutanix. We did extensive throughput testing, comparing the hypervisors, and the firewall on VMWare performed better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to virtualize the firewall helped us be more flexible with our hardware costs. We could purchase virtual infrastructure instead of dedicated firewall hardware.

What do you like best about the product?
VM-series improved our network security and it ran smoothly. Really good against malware and threats. I also liked the Cloud Integration, it works across public and private cloud environments (AWS, VMware)
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably the price range. It is a little bit overpriced. The security features are impressive, but i do dislike the high cost. The annual fees can be quite expense which can be tough for smaller businesses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me Palo Alto Networks VM-Series helped with prevent attacks like malmware and other real time threat analysis. VM-series made it also easier to automate deployments with other security systems.
