Testing the deployment
FortiWeb-VM auto scaling creates an ASG with lifecycle events attached to the group. To test the deployment, follow these steps:
- Check that an ASG (the name starting with fwbASG by default or the prefix you specified in Resource name prefix) was created after completion of the CloudFormation stack.
- Navigate to the Scaling Policies tab of the ASG, and execute a scale-out action.
The scale-out action should trigger a lifecycle event for instantiating a FortiWeb instance.
- Follow step 2 for a similar scale-in action. Note that you must wait 300 seconds, as specified in the Scaling Cooldown period, between scale-out and scale-in actions.
