Unsure if this is the correct discussion group. I'm a newbie to PAN and want to learn more. The scenario I have is that we are using PAN Global Protect on my laptop and I wish to connect to our EC2 instances in our AWS vpc with the proper subnets routing.
I use terraform and I have found the PAN terraform modules:
https://pan.dev/terraform/docs/swfw/aws/vmseries/modules/
Question I have is which is the proper terraform module I should be using for this use case? A firewall is currently not required.

Hi @weswork ,
I just want to make sure I understand your use case correctly.
A few clarifying questions:
Are you trying to deploy GlobalProtect to provide remote access VPN into your AWS VPC?
When you say “a firewall is not required,” do you mean you do not want to deploy a VM-Series firewall in AWS?
Do you already have a Palo Alto firewall deployed somewhere (on-prem or cloud) that is hosting GlobalProtect today and that is where you are connecting to?

Are you trying to deploy GlobalProtect to provide remote access VPN into your AWS VPC? Yes
When you say “a firewall is not required,” do you mean you do not want to deploy a VM-Series firewall in AWS? I think so, as it's come to my attention that a firewall is always required.
Do you already have a Palo Alto firewall deployed somewhere (on-prem or cloud) that is hosting GlobalProtect today and that is where you are connecting to? Yes, on-prem and looking to expand into AWS
