Deploying a FortiManager Cloud instance
This section explains how to deploy FortiManager Cloud. You can select a region, and then deploy the instance of FortiManager Cloud to the region.
A primary FortiCloud account is required to deploy FortiManager Cloud. A primary FortiCloud account can invite other users to launch FortiManager Cloud as sub users. See Adding a secondary account.
Only one FortiManager Cloud instance can be created per FortiCloud account.

For support of FortiGates devices on earlier firmware versions, you can change the FortiManager Cloud ADOM version to match the firmware version of the FortiGates. Check the FortiManager/FortiOS Compatibility Guide to see which FortiOS versions are supported by each FortiManager release. For more information on changing the ADOM version, see Updating the ADOM version. |
