Panorama Minimum Requirements for AWS Deployment

sethcd — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 21:00:34 GMT

Hi all,

I am new to Panorama management, and I am specing out a new deployment for a client.

1 - VM PA in AWS

1 - PA 440 for Office

We want to manage the VM and 440 PA with Panorama. Looking at the AWS deployment documentation

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/panorama/9-1/panorama-admin/set-up-panorama/set-up-the-panorama-virtual-appliance/setup-prerequisites-for-the-panorama-virtual-appliance#id4430de3f-a44c-4b24-b9c3-52cef1f0bc96

It says the minimum systems requirements for Panorama are 16 CPUs and 32GB of memory. This seems like overkill for a small deployment. Are there any smaller options for a Panorama deployment?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

So you only have one PA-440?

No, we will have 1 PA 440 in the office and 1 VM PA in AWS.

Hello,

Understood. I think they size the Panorama as such for the logging requirements etc. Not sure if you can scale it down since its prebuilt on a ec2 instance. If you dont need the Panorama, you can run the two PA-440's just fine normally, etc., guess it depends on your use case.
