Which three statements describe restrictions or characteristics of Firewall flex credit profiles of a credit...

Firewall flex credits have specific characteristics.

Why A, C, and D are correct:

A: For flex credits, the number of licensed cores must match the number of provisioned CPU cores. This is a key requirement for accurate credit consumption.

C: Deployment profiles are either fixed (predefined resources) or flexible (using credits).

D: All firewalls within a deployment profile share the same Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) subscriptions.

Why B and E are incorrect:

B: Flex credits are the mechanism used to deploy Cloud NGFW instances in AWS and Azure, not a separate allocation.

E: Deployment profiles are for VM-Series firewalls. CN-Series firewalls have their own licensing and deployment models.
