Explanation

The CN-Series (Container Next-Generation Firewall) is Palo Alto Networks' firewall purpose-built for Kubernetes environments. Its primary use case is enforcing Security policies between pods within a Kubernetes cluster - this is east-west traffic (D), meaning lateral traffic moving between workloads inside the same environment rather than in or out of the perimeter. The CN-Series integrates with Kubernetes networking (CNI) to inspect and control inter-pod traffic. Protecting mobile users and remote branch offices (A) is the role of GlobalProtect and Prisma Access. Securing physical data center perimeters with north-south traffic (B) is handled by PA-Series hardware firewalls. Securing north-south traffic in a public cloud VPC or VNet (C) is the role of the VM-Series firewall deployed in cloud environments.
