An administrator has been asked to deploy an active-passive (A-P) FortiGate cluster in the AWS cloud across two availability zones.
In addition to enhanced redundancy, which other major difference is there compared to deploying A-P high availability in the same availability zone?
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.
