Cloud-init

In Auto Scaling, a FortiGate-VM uses the cloud-init feature to pre-configure the instances when they first come up. During template deployment, an internal API Gateway endpoint will be created.

A FortiGate-VM sends requests to the endpoint to retrieve necessary configuration after initialization.

Use this FortiOS CLI command to display information for your devices:

# diagnose debug cloudinit show

VPN output can be retrieved with this FortiOS CLI command:
