Panorama is Palo Alto Networks’ centralized management solution for managing multiple firewalls. It
supports multiple deployment options to suit different infrastructure needs. The valid deployment
options are as follows:
Why "As a virtual machine (ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM)" (Correct Answer A)?
Panorama can be deployed as a virtual machine on hypervisors like VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V,
and KVM. This is a common option for organizations that already utilize virtualized infrastructure.
Why "With a cloud service provider (AWS, Azure, GCP)" (Correct Answer B)?
Panorama is available for deployment in the public cloud on platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure,
and Google Cloud Platform. This allows organizations to centrally manage firewalls deployed in cloud
environments.
Why "As a dedicated hardware appliance (M-100, M-200, M-500, M-600)" (Correct Answer E)?
Panorama is available as a dedicated hardware appliance with different models (M-100, M-200, M-
500, M-600) to cater to various performance and scalability requirements. This is ideal for
organizations that prefer physical appliances.
Why not "As a container (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift)" (Option C)?
Panorama is not currently supported as a containerized deployment. Containers are more commonly
used for lightweight and ephemeral services, whereas Panorama requires a robust and persistent
deployment model.
Why not "On a Raspberry Pi (Model 4, Model 400, Model 5)" (Option D)?
Panorama cannot be deployed on low-powered hardware like Raspberry Pi. The system
requirements for Panorama far exceed the capabilities of Raspberry Pi hardware.

which include virtual machines, cloud platforms, and hardware appliances.
