Hi @BrajeshPatel ,

Does azure deployment support Palo Alto in active-active HA setup?  Yes.  Please see this thread -> https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/vm-series-in-the-public-cloud/vm-series-in-azure-active-passive....

As mentioned in that thread, the Deployment Guide here -> https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/reference-architectures/azure shows you how to use the Azure Load Balancer for active/active.

Also is Panorama really require to deployed it as Active-Active in azure?  No.

Please share your thoughts to deployed it as Active-Active in azure?  The active/active in the deployment guide has faster failover and larger scale, but no state.  Depending upon your applications, this could be the best solution.

Thanks,

Tom
