Not available in most regions
We would like to migrate from x86-64 to arm64 but the images are not available in most regions outside EU and US.
Works exactly as expected
Like for like VS the x86 counterpart, this works seamlessly. Providing you're on 11.1+, swapping out x86 for Arm is easy and the exact same launch parameters work as expected (i.e. Bootstrapping is the same). I've seen zero issues in our production environment and the infra bill is much cheaper! go Arm!
There are one or two bugs relating to configuration sizes (at this time) with Panorama integration but this does not affect the firewall performance. Otherwise, this is great.
No updates yet
It's really cool they made the PAN-OS VM image available on ARM. I'm told it's cheaper and more abundant in the cloud. They still haven't started making updates yet though. I opened a support case but didn't get anywhere. I'm not sure what is supposed to be done to go from 11.1.0 to 11.1.2 in the cloud. Make a new one? There's no update .bin on the support site yet either for ARM. You can get the full images through. I'm excited about PA-VM on ARM but it's not ready yet!
