Coming soon to a Fuel Spark User Summit near you - Strata Cloud Manager topics!

[CharlesBuege-Fuel]

Hello, everyone!

One of Fuel's primary directives is bringing education and information to our members to make your lives easier.  As Fuel has become more active over the last several years, we are getting more and more support from different units within Palo Alto Networks and we cannot be more thrilled. 

Whether it is working with our amazing team out of Singapore/SAGE chapter and TAC on our Fuel Workshop events. giving partners like Tufin and FireMon a chance to connect at the Fuel Technical Alliance (FTA) events, or meeting so many of you at the different in-person events we have been attending (Ignite on Tour, local chapter events, tech summits, and more), we at Fuel HQ could not be more proud of the growth we've been experiencing because of each and every one of you.

With that said, it is our pleasure to let you all know that Fuel is working with the Strata Cloud Management team to start putting together a number of SCM-centric topics for upcoming events.

Here is the list of events we are looking to put together over the next several months:

1. From Visibility to Insights: Reporting and AI Canvas
   - New features and updates on unified visibility, reporting, and troubleshooting
2. Simplify Security Configuration with SCM
   - Introduction to configuration and policy management, new configuration features and workflows
3. Panorama to SCM Configuration Migration
   - Self-serve migration of Panorama. configuration to SCM
4. Unified Incident Framework (UIF)
   - How to navigate through incidents, setup, customize and forward incidents on SCM
5. Strengthen Your Security Posture with SCM
   - Fix security posture for Panorama and SCM configuration, compliance center and feature adoption center
6. Proactive Operations with SCM Operational Health
   - New updates on NGFW incidents, software upgrade recommendation v2, status and monitoring
7. Automate and Scale with SCM
   - APIs, Terraform, and practical automation use cases.

Why are we sharing this information with you?  Because we want to hear directly from you about what topic or topics are most important to you.  Which of these sessions do you want us to host first?  From this list, what is the most important thing to you, your colleagues, and your organization?  Is there something centered around SCM that is NOT on this list that you want to hear about?

Please feel free to comment on this post about what you would like us to prioritize for a session and the more upvotes a certain topic gets, the sooner we'll make it happen.

As we progress through the coming months and start to create events centered around these topics, we will update this list accordingly with completed events, new events and topics, and removal if a certain topic is superseded by something else.

If you have any other suggestions for sessions or topics, either related to SCM or anything else in the PANW ecosystem of products, feel free to include that here as well  The more we hear from you, the more relevant and better our events will be.

Oh, and while you're going through the list of topics, we want to let you know that coming in November, 2026, we will have our first SCM session:  "Why SCM: Your Journey from Panorama to SCM".  Expect to see this event being announced in the coming weeks and be sure to show up with questions.

Thank you for reading this and be well!
