Question 1
Which two features of CN-Series firewalls protect east-west traffic between pods in different trust zones? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, D
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The CN-Series firewalls incorporate an Intrusion Prevention System to detect and prevent exploits and attacks on applications and systems. This feature is essential for securing east-west traffic, as it can identify and block threats within the data center traffic between pods in different trust zones.
Layer 7 Visibility: CN-Series firewalls provide Layer 7 (application layer) visibility, enabling deep inspection of application traffic. This allows the firewall to understand and enforce policies based on the application and its behavior, rather than just ports and protocols, ensuring comprehensive security for east-west traffic within a Kubernetes environment.
What is the structure of the YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML) file repository?
Answer : D
YAML File Structure:
The structure of a YAML file repository for managing configurations typically follows the order of Kubernetes/Deployment_Type/Environment. This hierarchy ensures that the configurations are organized logically, with Kubernetes-specific settings at the top level, followed by the type of deployment, and then the specific environment.

Question 3
What are two environments supported by the CN-Series firewall? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, C
OpenShift:
The CN-Series firewall supports deployment in Red Hat OpenShift environments. OpenShift is a Kubernetes-based container platform that provides a comprehensive solution for container orchestration.

Question 4
Which two statements apply to the VM-Series plugin? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, D
Independent Upgrade:
The VM-Series plugin can be upgraded independently of the PAN-OS version. This allows for flexibility in maintaining and enhancing the plugin without the need for a complete PAN-OS upgrade.

Question 5
With which two private cloud environments does Palo Alto Networks have deep integrations? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, B
Palo Alto Networks has deep integrations with:
Cisco ACI: Integration with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) allows for automated security provisioning and enforcement within the Cisco data center environment, leveraging the tight coupling of network and security policies.
VMware NSX-T: Integration with VMware NSX-T enables advanced security features and visibility within VMware's software-defined data center (SDDC) environment, facilitating automated security policies and enforcement across virtualized workloads.

Question 6
What do tags allow a VM-Series firewall to do in a virtual environment?
Answer : D
Tags in a VM-Series firewall environment allow administrators to dynamically adjust security policy rules based on changes within the virtual environment. These tags can be used to label and categorize virtual machines (VMs) or other entities within the environment, and policies can be created to automatically respond to these tags. This facilitates adaptive security measures that align with the current state and requirements of the environment.

Question 7
Which of the following can provide application-level security for a web-server instance on Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
Answer : A
VM-Series firewalls provide advanced application-level security for web-server instances on AWS. These virtual firewalls leverage Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewall capabilities to offer features like application identification, threat prevention, and URL filtering, ensuring comprehensive security for web applications hosted on AWS.
