Hello,

 

You can use our FortiConverter service for that: https://www.fortinet.com/products/next-generation-firewall/forticonverter

    thank you.

     

    FortiConverter service seems to be a service that supports conversion from other vendor devices (Cisco, Palo, CheckPoint...etc) to Fortigate, but does it also support migration to Cloud (AWS)?

    @live-est-kanda 
    As per this link:(page 3) FortiConverter Data Sheet (fortinet.com)

    it is possible to convert FortiGate to FortiGate on different appliances within GUI console after you have enabled this service.
