Instance type support

Instance type support

You can deploy FortiGate-VM as bring your own license (BYOL) on AliCloud on all available instances that the FortiGate-VM listing on the AliCloud marketplace supports. Supported instances on AliCloud for new deployments may change without notice.

For up-to-date information on instance type families, see the following:

The following tables summarize instance type support for AliCloud:
