Firewall Automation Basics and Best Practices

As networks continue to evolve and progress, organizations now require increased agility and flexibility that go beyond the physical datacenter and now into areas such as containers, VNFs and public cloud instances. With included Palo Alto Networks Ansible modules, network teams are now able to automate configurations and operational tasks on premises, off premises, or a mix of both without the manual interaction of underlying network platforms. Start small with automating physical Palo Alto Networks firewalls then scale to next-gen virtual Palo Alto Networks firewalls in a hybrid cloud environment.
