About the VM-Series Firewall on Azure

The VM-Series firewall on Azure must be deployed in a virtual network (VNet) using the Resource Manager deployment mode. You can deploy the VM-Series firewall on the standard Azure public cloud, Azure China, and Azure Government—including DoD on Azure Government, which meets the security requirements for DoD Impact Level 5 data and FedRAMP High standards.

The VM-Series firewall on the marketplace for the Azure public cloud, Azure Government, and Azure DoD regions, supports both the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model and the hourly Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) option (usage-based licensing) For licensing details, see License Types—VM-Series Firewalls, and refer to the list of supported Azure regions in which you can deploy the VM-Series firewall.

For Azure China, the VM-Series firewall is available in the BYOL option only. See Deploy the VM-Series Firewall from the Azure China Marketplace (Solution Template) for the workflow.

You can also deploy the VM-Series firewall on Azure Stack, Microsoft's private cloud solution that enables you to use Azure services within your organization's datacenter. With Azure Stack, you can build out a hybrid cloud solution that unifies your public Azure deployment with your on-premise Azure Stack set up. You can download the VM-Series firewall BYOL offer from the Azure Marketplace and make it available to your tenants on Azure Stack. For instructions, see Deploy the VM-Series Firewall on Azure Stack.
