Actual exam question for Fortinet's FCP_WCS_AD-7.4 exam
Question #: 11
Topic #: 1
[All FCP_WCS_AD-7.4 Questions]

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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

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.

Well, at least they didn't ask us to use a fax machine to send the config. That would be a true blast from the past!

Haha, imagine if the answer was 'You use a carrier pigeon to bootstrap your FortiGate configuration.' That would be a real head-scratcher!

I'm not sure why they would use DynamoDB instead of S3 for this. D doesn't make much sense to me.

A) You create an S3 bucket to stage and bootstrap FortiGate with an FGCP unicast configuration. The S3 bucket can be hosted in any region.

B seems like a trick question. The CloudFormation template doesn't automatically create the S3 bucket, you have to do that yourself.

I don't think so, the question specifically mentions using an S3 bucket for staging and bootstrapping.

C is the correct answer. The S3 bucket needs to be in the same region as the VPC, which is Ohio US-East-2.
