Junos Device Manager
The Connected Security Distributed Services (CSDS) architecture supports vSRX Virtual Firewalls for its services plane. Use Junos Device Manager (JDM) to orchestrate vSRX Virtual Firewalls in the CSDS services plane. JDM is a Linux container that offers a Junos OS-like CLI environment for the virtual machine (VM) life-cycle management. You can use JDM to deploy and manage vSRX Virtual Firewalls on Intel or AMD baremetal servers with Ubuntu OS..
You must use the MX Series Junos Node Unifier (JNU) controller to centrally manage JDM and vSRX Virtual Firewalls that server as the JNU satellites.
JDM Infrastructure Considerations
Table 1 shows the list of supported baremetal servers for JDM. Table 2 lists the vSRX Virtual Firewall platform support with JDM.
