What difference between SD-WAN zone and SD-WAN rules?
Hello,
we updated our fortigate to version 6.11 (previously we had version 6.2)
and now there is a new entity sd-wan zone
we have four providers
what's the difference if:
1. create a SD-WAN zone
2. I will set two Internet providers in this zone
3. And assign this zone to a rule in the firewall
AND
1. create a SD-WAN zone
2. I will set all Internet providers in this zone
3. And assign this zone to a rule in the firewall
4. I will create an SD-WAN RULES rule in which I will set a rule for only two providers (from the previous paragraph)

Hello,
Think of the Zones like different interfaces, you can set up sd-wan zone with members port1 and port2 and set the zone as destination intf in a policy.
Then you can create a specific rules for how to balance the traffic between the interface members in that zone.
So in your case, you create a zone with two providers, then you need a rule to specify how do you want to utilize the two providers.
Check documentation bellow:
