Other options include the Terraform modules for the firewall appliance, but it lacks visualization capabilities and requires considerable effort to understand and customize.\ \ The blueprint shown below allows you to visualize using the canvas, modify and deploy the end-to-end configuration as described in the article referenced below in less than 15 minutes. In addition, QMCLOUD auto generates the required code.\ \
You can also customize the template and update the configuration as per your requirements using the canvas using QMCLOUD.\ \ Contact us at if you are looking to deploy third party firewall appliances in AWS or Azure. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.qmcloud.io/examples/securing-applications-in-aws-using-palo-alto-firewall.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
