Configuration File Compression

The XML configuration file size sent to and from Strata Cloud Manager and NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager) are reduced by at least 15% to increase file transfer performance.
When you push a configuration change from Strata Cloud Manager, the XML configuration file containing the existing and new configurations is pushed from Strata Cloud Manager to your NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager). Strata Cloud Manager now compresses the pushed XML configuration file exchanged by at least 15% if your NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager) is running PAN-OS 11.2. All NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager) responses, such as confirming that the XML config file was received and the commit status, queries for data, and complete and read operations from Strata Cloud Manager are also compressed and reduced by at least 15%. This helps reduce the time it takes to push configuration changes from Strata Cloud Manager and query for information from your NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager). The compression has no impact on management or data processing functionality.
