    Deployment Modes of CN-Series Firewalls

    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    • CN-Series deployment
    • CN-Series 10.1.x or above Container Images
    • Panorama running PAN-OS 10.1.x or above version
    • Helm 3.6 or above version client for CN-Series deployment with Helm
    After you review the CN-Series Core Building Blocks and the high-level overview of the workflow in Secure Kubernetes Workloads with CN-Series Firewall, you can start deploying the CN-Series firewalls to secure traffic between containers within the same cluster, as well as between containers and other workload types such as virtual machines and bare-metal servers.
    If you are on the OpenShift environment, see and for securing 5G traffic, see Secure 5G With the CN-Series Firewall.
    You need standard Kubernetes tools such as kubectl or Helm to deploy and manage your Kubernetes clusters, apps, and firewall services. Panorama is not designed to be an orchestrator for Kubernetes cluster deployment and management. Templates for cluster management are provided by Managed Kubernetes providers. Palo Alto Networks provides community-supported templates for deploying CN-Series with Helm and Terraform.
    Before moving from deploying CN-Series as a DaemonSet to CN-Series as a Service or vice versa, you must delete and reapply plugin-serviceaccount.yaml.
    • When you deploy CN-Series as a DaemonSet pan-plugin-cluster-mode-secret must not exist.
    • When you deploy CN-Series as a Kubernetes service pan-plugin-cluster-mode-secret must be present.
