VM-Series High Availability in Azure

Question

An organization is deploying VM-Series firewalls in Microsoft Azure to secure its VNets. A key requirement is that the security infrastructure must be resilient to the failure of an entire Azure Availability Zone. What is the recommended method to achieve this goal?

Options

  • ADeploy multiple, independent VM-Series firewalls in different Availability Zones and use an Azure
  • BImplement a Terraform configuration that automatically redeploys the firewall in a new zone if the
  • CUse Azure Traffic Manager to direct traffic to a primary VM-Series firewall, with a second firewall in
  • DConfigure PAN-OS active/passive high availability (HA) between two VM-Series instances in

Explanation

Deploying multiple independent VM-Series firewalls across different Azure Availability Zones and placing them behind an Azure Load Balancer provides zone-level fault tolerance by design, ensuring traffic continues to flow if an entire zone fails, without relying on stateful HA dependencies or single-instance failover mechanisms.
