We have an egress policy to allow traffic to a (partner) service hosted in AWS - thus the IP address of the remote server is dynamic.
In these scenarios, is there a way to create a policy object that can represent a dynamic lookup? Or how else might this be addressed on a Fortinet firewall... aside from a "looser" policy that only specifies source and protocol?
TIA!

As your partner service aka Destination is a dynamic ip that's always changing, you can create a wildcard fqdn object and use that as the Destination Address of the firewall policy: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Using-a-wildcard-FQDN/ta-p/196118
Alternatively, you can also use an AWS ISDB object as the destination object in the relevant firewall policy.
