{: #licensed-firewall-vpc}
You can deploy a licensed next-generation firewall from the {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} catalog to inspect and secure traffic that enters, leaves, and moves within your VPC. The licensing is applied automatically when the firewall is provisioned, so you don't need to purchase or manage licenses separately. {: shortdesc}

{: #licensed-firewall-vpc-available}
With the licensed firewall for FortiGate, you can deploy the following configurations:
- A single FortiGate virtual server instance
