Explanation
Ansible connects to FortiGate using an API, which is a method of communication between different software components. Ansible uses the fortios_* modules to interact with the FortiOS API, which is a RESTful API that allows configuration and monitoring of FortiGate devices. Ansible can use either HTTP or HTTPS as the transport protocol, and can authenticate with either a username and password or an API token.
