Explanation

In Azure deployments of FortiGate VMs with autoscaling enabled, configuration synchronization across FortiGate instances is achieved using FortiGate-native HA features like "config-sync" integrated with the autoscaling mechanism. When a new FortiGate VM instance is scaled out, it automatically synchronizes its configuration from the existing instances. This autoscaling setup uses backend services like Azure Functions and Cosmos DB as part of the orchestration and configuration delivery, but the key mechanism enabling configuration sync among FortiGate VMs in the cluster is the autoscaling native feature utilizing config-sync.
