About This Architecture
Multi-homed management hub architecture centralizes Fortinet FortiGate and FortiWeb appliance management across isolated client VRFs using AWS VPC with dedicated Linux and Windows management zones. Traffic flows from client networks via MPLS/VRF interfaces through Transit Gateway to segmented private subnets housing Ansible automation, FortiManager API clients, and centralized logging. The design enforces least-privilege access through bastion hosts, MFA/IAM identity controls, and network firewalls, with KMS encryption and CloudTrail audit trails protecting sensitive configurations. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize subnets, add additional client VRFs, or integrate with your existing Fortinet deployment pipeline. This architecture demonstrates zero-trust principles for managing distributed security appliances while maintaining compliance and operational visibility.
