Prerequisites

Before attempting to create a stack with the templates, a few prerequisites should be checked to ensure a successful deployment:

1. An AMI subscription must be active for the FortiGate license type being used in the template.

   • Intel BYOL Marketplace Listing
   • Intel PAYG Marketplace Listing
   • ARM BYOL Marketplace Listing
   • ARM PAYG Marketplace Listing

2. The solution requires 3 EIPs to be created so ensure the AWS region being used has available capacity. Reference AWS Documentation for more information on EC2 resource limits and how to request increases.

3. If BYOL licensing is to be used, ensure these licenses have been registered on the support site and license files downloaded locally.

4. Ensure that all of the PublicSubnet’s and HAmgmtSubnet’s AWS route tables have a default route to an AWS Internet Gateway. Reference AWS Documentation for further information. Otherwise you must set the variable only_private_ec2_api to ’true’.
