Deployment overview
Microsoft Azure supports virtual WAN (vWAN), and partners with third-party solution providers, such as Fortinet, to deploy network virtual appliances (NVAs) to a vWAN hub.
This document provides a brief overview of Azure vWAN and how you can use Fortinet FortiGate virtual machines as NVAs in a vWAN hub.
About this guide
This guide provides the design and steps for deploying a specific architecture.
This guide presents one of possibly many ways to deploy the solution. It may also omit specific steps where readers must make design decisions to further configure their devices. Also reviewing supplementary material found in product administration guides, example guides, cookbooks, release notes, and other documents where appropriate is recommended.
This guide is part of the 4-D documentation series.
About the 4-D documentation series
Fortinet documentation is categorized into four distinct document types: define, design, deploy, and demo. Each document type is designed for a specific purpose and builds on the other document types by providing you with a complete path from beginning to end.
