A Cloud NGFW for Azure can be deployed to which two environments?

Cloud NGFW for Azure is designed to secure network traffic within and between Azure environments:

A. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): While CN-Series firewalls are designed for securing Kubernetes environments like AKS, Cloud NGFW is not directly deployed within AKS. Instead, Cloud NGFW secures traffic flowing to and from AKS clusters.

B. Azure Virtual WAN: Cloud NGFW can be deployed to secure traffic flowing through Azure Virtual WAN hubs. This allows for centralized security inspection of traffic between on-premises networks, branch offices, and Azure virtual networks.

C. Azure DevOps: Azure DevOps is a set of development tools and services. Cloud NGFW is a network security solution and is not directly related to Azure DevOps.

D. Azure VNET: Cloud NGFW can be deployed to secure traffic within and between Azure Virtual Networks (VNETs). This is its primary use case, providing advanced threat prevention and network security for Azure workloads.

The Cloud NGFW for Azure documentation clearly describes these deployment scenarios:

Cloud NGFW for Azure Documentation: Search for "Cloud NGFW for Azure" on the Palo Alto Networks support portal. This documentation explains how to deploy Cloud NGFW in VNETs and integrate it with Virtual WAN.

This confirms that Azure VNETs and Azure Virtual WAN are the supported deployment environments for Cloud NGFW.
