Resolved! vpc-classic-v1.2.1.template issues

So I deployed this template exactly as described on the site. I kept all the default pre-populated settings where possible and used my own S3 buckets. Tried it both with and without nat gateways. This is with 3 AZ in us-east-1. All the AWS artifacts get created, the nested stack gets created, but the firewalls do not! I checked the logs from the...

Ideally all traffic between subnets would flow through the VM-300, but this doesn't seem possible to us without multiple NICs, one per subnet. I...

AWS Auto Scaling Template version 2.0

I am trying to go through the Auto-Scaling Template for VM on AWS 2.0. I have a few question around the template. Is there a reason that we are using a NAT gateway?

OMS Dashabord

Has anyone tried to connect multiple Palo Alto devices to Azure OMS for the purpose of using Log Analytics? We currently have a server configured to forward Palo Alto syslog files to OMS, but from what I can see there doesn't appear to be any OMS solutions that deal with the kind of data that is coming from the Palo Alto devices. What we are loo...
