AWS Transit Gateway can be used to connect Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and their on-premises networks to a single gateway. FortiGate Autoscale with Transit Gateway integration extends the protection to all networks connected to the Transit Gateway.

FortiGate Autoscale for AWS

An implementation of FortiGate Autoscale for the Amazon AWS platform API with a Dynamo DB storage backend.

This project provides multi-group Auto Scaling functionality for Fortinet FortiGate EC2 instances to form an HA cluster with failover protection. For deployment on other cloud platforms, visit the relevant repository:

• The AliCloud deployment is in the alicloud-autoscale repository.
• The Azure deployment is in the fortigate-autoscale repository.
• The GCP deployment is in the fortigate-autoscale-gcp repository.

This project has the following features:

1. Multi-group Hybrid Licensing models:
   1. BYOL-Only: 1 dynamically scalable Auto Scaling group of (0 or more) Bring Your Own License (BYOL) FortiGate instances.
   2. PAYG-Only: 1 dynamically scalable Auto Scaling group of (0 or more) on-demand FortiGate instances.
   3. Hybrid: 1 fix-sized Auto Scaling group of 2 (or more) BYOL FortiGate instances, and 1 dynamically scalable Auto Scaling group of (0 or more) on-demand FortiGate instances.
2. AWS Transit Gateway integration.
3. FortiAnalyzer integration.
