What is the default capacity license of a VM-Series NGFW being deployed from the Google Cloud Platform Marketplace?

Options

• AVM-GCP
• BVM-100
• CVM-500
• DVM-300

• D
  89% (17)

Explanation

When deploying a VM-Series NGFW from the GCP Marketplace using BYOL (Bring Your Own License), Palo Alto Networks assigns VM-300 as the default capacity license until a valid license is applied - this is the out-of-the-box baseline for that deployment path.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (VM-GCP): This is not a real VM-Series capacity tier; no such license model exists in Palo Alto's portfolio.
• B (VM-100): VM-100 is a valid but lower-tier capacity license; it is not the default applied during GCP Marketplace deployments.
• C (VM-500): VM-500 is a real, higher-capacity tier, but it exceeds the default assigned at deployment.

Memory tip: Think "GCP = 3oogle Cloud Platform" - the 3 reminds you of VM-300. Alternatively, remember that cloud marketplace defaults tend to land in the middle of the capacity range, and VM-300 sits between VM-100 and VM-500.
