The 7.2.x branch of FortiOS focuses heavily on enhancing security posture, improving usability, and expanding functionality for hybrid environments. A. Advanced Security Features
Specifies that this image is optimized for , the open-source virtualization stack native to Linux. While FortiGate VMs also exist for VMware ( .ovf ), Hyper-V ( .vhdx ), and Xen ( .xva ), the kvm tag confirms the disk controller and virtio drivers are pre-configured for Linux bridge, Open vSwitch (OVS), or libvirt environments.
