Is Panorama designed to be an orchestrator for Kubernetes cluster deployment and management?

Panorama is not designed specifically to be an orchestrator for Kubernetes cluster deployment and management. Its primary purpose is to provide centralized management and visibility for Palo Alto Networks' security solutions across various environments, including both on-premises and cloud deployments. While it does offer certain integrations and can help manage security policies that protect Kubernetes environments, it does not serve the primary role of orchestrating the deployment and management of Kubernetes clusters like dedicated Kubernetes tools such as Kubernetes itself, OpenShift, or Rancher do.

The choices about other focuses, such as traditional data centers or network management, suggest functionalities that are part of a broader context, but Panorama is fundamentally aimed at security management rather than the orchestration of container deployments. Therefore, saying that Panorama does not serve the function of orchestrating Kubernetes deployment accurately reflects its designed use case and capabilities.
