What is a design consideration for a prospect who wants to deploy VM-Series firewalls in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A design consideration for a prospect who wants to deploy VM-Series firewalls in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment is that only active-passive high availability (HA) is supported. High availability (HA) is a feature that provides redundancy and failover protection for firewalls in case of hardware or software failure. Active-passive HA is a mode of HA that consists of two firewalls in a pair, where one firewall is active and handles all traffic, while the other firewall is passive and acts as a backup. Active-passive HA is the only mode of HA that is supported for VM-Series firewalls in an AWS environment, due to the limitations of AWS networking and routing. Active-active HA, which is another mode of HA that consists of two firewalls in a pair that both handle traffic and synchronize sessions, is not supported for VM-Series firewalls in an AWS environment. A design consideration for a prospect who wants to deploy VM-Series firewalls in an AWS environment is not that special AWS plugins are needed for load balancing, resources are shared within the cluster, or high availability (HA) clusters are limited to fewer than 8 virtual appliances, as those are not valid or relevant factors for firewall deployment in an AWS environment.

Are HA clusters really capped at fewer than 8 appliances? Sounds off.

Okay, let's see. I know the VM-Series firewalls can be deployed in AWS, but I'm not sure about the design considerations. I'll have to read the question closely and try to eliminate the incorrect options.
