FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall provides the foundation for proper user-based secure access into AWS multi-tiered applications among VPCs, especially a rich set of RESTAPIs access can be integrated with advanced AWS CloudWatch metrics, AWS CloudTrail logs, or external management tools.

Fortinet adopts the “no patch” philosophy where all FortiGate instances in AWS Cloud and on-premise datacenter can be centrally managed through FortiManager with configuration synchronization and updates. Thus, you can shift your mindset to workload security instead of single instance one off protection.

Amazon EC2 provides a large number of options across multiple instance types, each with one or more size options, optimized for different types of applications. Fortinet supports the “M3, C3, and C4” instance types. AWS recommends that you assess the requirements of your applications and select the appropriate instance family as a starting point for application performance testing. Evaluate the performance of your applications by

(a) Identifying how your application needs compare to different instance families (e.g., is the application compute-bound, memory-bound, etc.), and

(b) Sizing your workload to identify the appropriate instance size. AWS recommends application-level testing
