Explanation

Cloud high availability (HA) strategies differ from traditional HA deployments in physical firewalls. Cloud NGFW provides cloud-native high availability options that align with cloud architectures, particularly in AWS and Azure environments. Automated Autoscaling Cloud NGFW automatically scales up or down based on traffic demand and load conditions. This ensures consistent security enforcement without manual intervention. Auto-scaling is managed by cloud-native services (AWS Auto Scaling, Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets, etc.). Deployed with Load Balancers Cloud NGFW can be integrated with cloud-native load balancers (AWS Elastic Load Balancing, Azure Load Balancer) to distribute traffic. This helps ensure high availability and failover in case of firewall instance failures.
