You want to deploy the Fortinet HA CloudFormation template to stage and bootstrap the FortiGate configuration in the same region in which you created your VPC, which is Ohio US-East-2. Based on this information, which statement is correct?
- You create an S3 bucket to stage and bootstrap FortiGate with an FGCP unicast configuration. The S3 bucket can be hosted in any region.
- The Fortinet HA cloud formation template automatically creates an S3 bucket.
- You create an S3 bucket to stage and bootstrap FortiGate with an FGCP unicast configuration. The S3 bucket needs to be hosted in the Ohio US-East-2 region.
- You create a DynamoDB to stage and bootstrap FortiGate with an FGCP unicast configuration. It needs to be hosted in the Ohio US-East-2 region.
Answer(s): C
Explanation:
Understanding Fortinet HA CloudFormation Template:
The Fortinet High Availability (HA) CloudFormation template is used to automate the deployment and configuration of FortiGate instances in AWS.
Staging and Bootstrapping FortiGate:
Staging involves preparing the necessary configuration files and resources needed for deployment. Bootstrapping is the process of automatically configuring FortiGate instances upon deployment.
S3 Bucket Requirement:
The configuration files required for staging and bootstrapping are typically stored in an S3 bucket.
Since the deployment is in the Ohio (US-East-2) region, it is recommended to host the S3 bucket in the same region to minimize latency and ensure regional compliance.
Comparison with Other Options:
Option A is incorrect because while an S3 bucket is required, it should be in the same region (US- East-2).
Option B is incorrect as the template does not automatically create the S3 bucket. Option D is incorrect as DynamoDB is not used for staging and bootstrapping in this scenario.
