Technical requirements
This chapter will demonstrate several ways to deploy a firewall in a cloud environment. It is recommended to have a cloud subscription available with your preferred provider, but most providers offer a free trial or free credits for a limited time for you to test their environment.
We recommend you set up a subscription or create a trial account with Microsoft Azure as we will be focusing on Azure mostly in this chapter: https://portal.azure.com/. This will allow you to follow along with all the topics covered in this chapter.
