How to configure Palo Alto Firewall to manage Azure Resources?

Nidhi Priya 531

Hello experts!

I am working on configuring the Palo Alto Firewall to manage Azure Resources. I have given two scenarios:

How to configure the Palo Alto Firewall in Azure to manage Azure resources?
How do we connect to the On-Prem Palo Alto Firewall to manage Azure resources?

I am not aware of anything about the Palo Alto Firewall. Please help me through this. and if you have any reference links, then please share.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

Please note that Azure Firewall tag refers to the Azure Firewall PaaS Service.

When you are using a third party VM as NVA for your firewall, you must reach out to your vendor or the forums of the 3rd party for the OS configuration.

The general idea is to route all traffic from Azure subnets to this NVA.

You can refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/dmz/nva-ha#load-balancer-design

If you want to configure the VPN connection between Azure and On-Prem Palo Alto Firewall,

You can consider Azure VPN Gateway

How to : Create a site-to-site VPN connection

Make sure your OnPrem device is validated

Note : If you don’t see your device listed in the Validated VPN devices table, your device still might work with a Site-to-Site connection. Contact your device manufacturer for support and configuration instructions.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kapil
