FortiGate-VM for AWS offers high availability (HA) and a variety of security features to protect your workloads on AWS.

 

High Availability (HA) can be set up in two ways:

  • Active/Passive: If the main firewall fails, a secondary one automatically takes over.
  • Active/Active: Traffic is distributed between multiple firewalls for redundancy.

Security Features:

  • Protects against threats with stateful inspection and security features.
  • IPS technology safeguards against network-level threats.
  • Docker application control secures containerized environments. 

The following topics provide an overview of different HA configurations when using FortiGate-VM for AWS.
