Palo Alto virtual image

I am a network engineer with some ASA experience. I want to learn Palo Alto and the only reasonable way to learn is to use virtual image of Palo Alto on my VM ware to create a lab environment. Even though the company I am working for is using Palo Alto for firewalls, but I am not in the firewall group. Question is that if I can purchases virtual image to practice and learn the firewall and Panorama?

Hi @Johnytech78 ,

Welcome! There are a couple of avenues that come to mind. You can spin up a VM through one of the cloud providers. For example, from the AWS marketplace you could get a pay as you go VM. The other option that comes to mind is reaching out to your network/firewall team that manages your palos and let them know you are interested in purchasing a vm-series lab bundle. They could maybe connect you or mediate a convo with the partner or palo sales rep they already purchased through.

Hello Jay,

Thank you for the solution. As you recommended I asked the firewall team to help me with this situation. By the way, do you know what is the V image name for Palo Alto. I have no idea what it should be. Please keep in mind the image is for a beginner level.
