    Study Notes

    VPN Protection and Management

    • Recommended option for optimal protection is to utilize a unified VPN solution to minimize administrative overhead associated with multiple platforms.
    • High availability scenarios require deployment of FortiGate appliances at both ends of the VPN connection.

    Azure and FortiGate Connectivity

    • An Azure Virtual Network Gateway must be created for establishing a connection with a Local FortiGate device.
    • A VPN Gateway is typically used in these configurations to facilitate secure communications.

    Ensuring Connectivity

    • Proper configurations on both sides of the connection are essential to ensure seamless connectivity.
    • Key components that need establishment on the Azure side include Network Security Groups and Virtual Network Gateways.

    Configuration and Routing

    • On both sides of the VPN connection, setup steps involve configuring firewalls, IP addresses, and routing methods.
    • For complex routing scenarios, dynamic routing protocols can be utilized instead of relying solely on static routes.

    Autoscale and Management Features

    • The image on the slide likely illustrates the architectural layout of FortiGate in an Azure environment.
    • The VPN gateway shown in the topology manages secure communications between different network segments.

    Autoscaling and Licensing Management

    • FortiGate VM instances within a Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) are managed to support autoscaling capabilities, including dynamic scaling based on demand.
    • The component responsible for autoscaling features includes automatic role assignment and license distribution.

    Configuration Preservation

    • Initial configurations and BYOL (Bring Your Own License) licenses are retained for new FortiGate VM instances to ensure consistency during deployment.
    • FortiGate-native high availability features like configuration synchronization enhance the autoscaling process by maintaining consistent settings across instances.

    Cosmos DB and Licensing

    • Cosmos DB tables store essential information related to the FortiGate Autoscale deployment, enabling efficient resource management.
    • A combination of subscription and pay-as-you-go licensing can be applied to FortiGate Autoscale deployments in Azure.

    Site-to-Site VPN Establishment

    • A dedicated component is in place to facilitate the creation of a site-to-site IPsec VPN connection with Azure utilizing FortiGate, ensuring secure communication pathways.
