| + | # Fortigate in the Cloud |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | AWS Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) |
| + | |
| + | You should absolutely know this flow. |
| + | |
| + | Traffic flow in AWS: |
| + | |
| + | Traffic from protected VPC |
| + | Routed to GWLBe |
| + | Sent to FortiGate CNF |
| + | Security inspection happens |
| + | Allowed traffic returns to internet gateway |
| + | |
| + | Key concepts: |
| + | |
| + | GWLB = scalable entry point |
| + | GWLBe = endpoint referenced in route tables |
| + | Used for HA and scaling |
| + | |
| + | Azure deployment flow |
| + | |
| + | Azure equivalent: |
| + | |
| + | GWLB tied to VNET |
| + | Traffic forwarded to CNF |
| + | CNF enforces policy |
| + | Traffic exits through Azure NAT Gateway |
