Onboarding
The onboarding wizard walks you through the initial FortiGate CNF configuration process, from adding your cloud accounts to deploying a configured FortiGate CNF instance.
On your first login, if you have no FortiGate CNF instances configured or running, you are presented with the wizard.
The wizard guides you through the following steps:
-
Add your cloud accounts.
Before any FortiGate CNF instances can be deployed to protect your cloud networks, you must add the cloud accounts that contain the resources you wish to protect. FortiGate CNF requires access permissions to perform various tasks, such as deploying FortiGate CNF endpoints, resolving IP addresses of resources, and sending logs to an AWS S3 bucket or Azure blob storage.
You are guided through each of the steps involved, including configuring the AWS CloudFormation template or Azure ARM template and creating the FortiGate CNF stack.
-
Create your first policy set.
Security policies are grouped into a policy set and provide the rules that control the traffic flow through the FortiGate CNF instance.
The wizard guides you through the steps needed to define your first policy set.
-
Create a FortiGate CNF instance.
The wizard guides you through the steps to create and deploy a FortiGate CNF instance and connect it to your subnets. This creates an endpoint in a subnet in one of the cloud accounts you added in step one.
After each step is completed, and when you have successfully completed the entire process, a success message is displayed.
You can leave and return to the wizard at any time, and you may repeat steps.
Once you have successfully completed the onboarding process, the Onboarding menu and page will no longer be available.
