Basic Gateway

The VM-Series firewall for OpenStack allows you to deploy the VM-Series firewall on the KVM hypervisor running on a compute node in your OpenStack environment. This solution uses Heat Orchestration Templates and bootstrapping to deploy the VM-Series firewall and a Linux server. The VM-Series firewall protects the deployed Linux server by inspecting the traffic going in and out of the server. The sample bootstrap files allow the VM-Series firewall to boot with basic configuration for handling traffic.
These heat template files and the bootstrap files combine to create two virtual machines, the VM-Series firewall and Linux server, in a network configuration similar to that shown below.
