#Auto Scaling the VM-Series in AWS
This CloudFormation Template deploys a tier of [VM-Series firewalls on AWS] (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=0ed48363-5064-4d47-b41b-a53f7c937314) that integrates with AWS Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) using a combination of native AWS services (AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudWatch, S3, SNS) and PAN-OS/VM-Series automation features (API, bootstrapping). The template allows you to leverage AWS scalability features designed to manage sudden surges in demand for application workload resources by simultaneously scaling the VM-Series firewalls with changing workloads.
Requirements
- You can deploy this solution only in regions that support AWS Lambda.
- You must accept the EULA for the [VM-Series firewall Bundle 2] (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00PJ2V04O) prior to launching the template.
