Instance type support
FortiGate supports the following instance types on Azure.
Supported instances on the Azure marketplace listing may change without notice and may vary between bring your own license (BYOL) and pay as you go. Instance types of the A- and D-series do not appear as deployable instances at the time you install the FortiGate virtual machine (VM) on the marketplace launcher.
For up-to-date information on each instance type, see the following links:
- Sizes for virtual machines in Azure
- Compute optimized virtual machine sizes
- General purpose virtual machine sizes
FortiOS supports hot-adding vCPU and RAM. However, Azure may not support this. See Change the size of a virtual machine.
