Explanation
When deploying a VM-Series firewall via a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) listing on public cloud marketplaces (AWS, Azure, GCP), administrators receive a VM-100 capacity license - the base-tier license that defines session capacity, security zone limits, and address object limits appropriate for smaller or proof-of-concept deployments.
Why the distractors are wrong: VM-300 (C) and VM-1000 (B) are higher-capacity licenses that require BYOL (Bring Your Own License) procurement through Palo Alto Networks directly, not through a marketplace PAYG model. VM-200 (D) similarly does not apply to the PAYG offering - it is also a BYOL tier.
Memory tip: Think "PAYG = Pay-As-You-Go = small starting point." The PAYG model is designed for quick, frictionless cloud adoption, so it naturally starts you at the smallest VM-Series tier - VM-100 - the "1" being the lowest number in the lineup.
