Adding AWS accounts

When you first log in to FortiGate CNF, you are presented with the onboarding wizard, which walks you through the process of adding an AWS account. See Onboarding.

FortiGate CNF requires access permissions on your AWS account in order to perform various tasks, such as deploying FortiGate CNF endpoints into your VPCs, resolving IP addresses of resources, and sending logs to an S3 bucket.

You must add the AWS account or accounts where your workloads will be running. There are no limits on the number of AWS accounts you may add, and these accounts do not need to have AWS Marketplace subscriptions.

Added accounts do not have to be the same as the billing AWS account.

For more information about adding AWS accounts, see Cloud accounts.
