VM series Firewalls not removing license on autoscale

So we have had a series of autoscaling VM series in AWS for a while now. We've had a slew of problems with them but the current one I am fighting is that they don't remove the license during an event. This means that the new spun up firewall fails as there is no additional credits for it to consume. The way my cloud team is telling me it appea...

PAN-OS Downgrade Resulted in Maintenance Mode with No Error Reason

Hello All, A bit of a weird one here: downgrading PAN-OS on a VM series NGFW from 11.2.0 to 11.1.4-h7. The device continually enters maintenance mode after it reboots to finish the installation process to 11.1.4-h7. The curious part is the maintenance entry reason: "No error entry reason detected". Please see the attached photo for clarity. ...

Palo Alto Firewall in Azure backup

Got some PA-VM-FLEX in GCP and Azure. I could create a backup routine for the GCP ones, but, I can't complete a backup for the Azure one. Found some old topics saying it is not possible to backup VM PA in Azure with Azure backup. Is that true? So, if Azure Backup routine doesn't work, what's the way to backup the VM to restore in case needed?
