Which two statements apply to the VM-Series plugin? (Choose two.)

The two statements that apply to the VM-Series plugin are:

It can be upgraded independently of PAN-OS.

It enables management of cloud-specific interactions between VM-Series firewalls and supported

public cloud platforms.

The VM-Series plugin is a software component that extends the functionality of the PAN-OS

operating system to support cloud-specific features and APIs. The VM-Series plugin can be upgraded

independently of PAN-OS to provide faster access to new cloud capabilities and integrations. The

VM-Series plugin enables management of cloud-specific interactions between VM-Series firewalls

and supported public cloud platforms, such as AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, and Oracle Cloud.

These interactions include bootstrapping, licensing, scaling, high availability, load balancing, and

tagging. The VM-Series plugin cannot manage capabilities common to both VM-Series firewalls and

hardware firewalls, as those are handled by PAN-OS. The VM-Series plugin cannot manage Panorama

plugins, as those are separate software components that extend the functionality of the Panorama

management server to support cloud-specific features and APIs. Reference: Palo Alto Networks
