About this document

Scope

This document provides the following information:

• How to deploy a FortiWeb virtual appliance in a Microsoft Hyper-V environment. To learn how to deploy FortiWeb-VM on public cloud platforms, see https://docs.fortinet.com/vm.
• How to configure any required virtual hardware settings. For hypervisor deployments, it assumes you have already successfully installed a virtualization server on the physical machine or the required EC2 environment.

This document does not cover initial configuration of the virtual appliance, nor ongoing use and maintenance. After deploying the virtual appliance, for information on initial appliance configuration, see the FortiWeb Administration Guide or FortiWeb Manager Administration Guide.

This document is intended for administrators, not end users. If you have a user account on a computer that accesses websites through a FortiWeb appliance, please contact your system administrator.
