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.

I have share my experiance about this and also describe issues which i have face on daily basis.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing of Palo Alto VM is that we can spin the firewall on many servers like Hyper-v ESXI-server, AWS, Azure, GCP etc. also we have not faced difficulty during troubleshooting and have no dependency on wires so we can easily take console or CLI access through a browser.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most disliked issue which I faced was that if you have reset the VM firewall then you lost the license as well as serial number.
If you don't remember the serial number of the firewall then you can not reterive the license directly from the firewall so either you find the serial number or check from the Palo Alto support portal.
