A new outlook on network automation involves the creation of automation flows between your service networking control plane, your infrastructure provisioning platform, and your network devices. 

HashiCorp and Palo Alto Networks recently collaborated on a strategy for this using HashiCorp's Network Infrastructure Automation (NIA). This works by triggering a Terraform workflow that automatically updates Palo Alto resources based on  changes it detects from the Consul catalog facilitated by Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS).

In this hands-on workshop, learn how you can automate the configuration management process for Palo Alto Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) using Terraform and Consul. 

What you will need:

• A laptop that is Wi-Fi enabled
• Practical experience with command-line tools and infrastructure as code is helpful

This Workshop will take place over Zoom. You will be provided with workshop environment access details at the start of the workshop
