Selected Answer: C

C. Unicast FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP) must be used. When deploying an active-passive high availability (HA) cluster in AWS, it is important to use Unicast FGCP, which is specifically designed for cloud environments like AWS. FGCP manages the heartbeat communication between FortiGate instances in the cluster and ensures proper failover mechanisms are in place. Here’s why the other options are less relevant: A: Both cluster members do not need to be in the same availability zone; in fact, deploying in different AZs is typically recommended for redundancy. B: VDOM exceptions are not specifically required for HA deployment or traffic flow. D: While health checks are important in general, FortiGate HA clusters do not rely on the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) for managing failovers, as FGCP handles this internally.
