Which output was taken on a VM running in Azure?

The command diagnose debug cloud-init show is used to display information from the cloud-init service, which handles the initial configuration of a cloud-based virtual machine. The output in option D explicitly states datasource: Azure. This is a definitive indicator provided by the FortiGate operating system that it has identified Microsoft Azure as its underlying cloud platform. This command is a standard troubleshooting and verification tool for FortiGate-VM deployments in cloud environments.

A: The diagnose sys fortiguard-service status output is generic and does not contain any information specific to the cloud provider on which the VM is hosted. B: The get system status output shows a generic, unlicensed FortiGate VM. It lacks any identifiers for the hypervisor or cloud platform. C: The diagnose hardware sysinfo output explicitly shows "manufacturer: Amazon EC2", which confirms the virtual machine is running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), not Azure.

"Verifying the cloud-init process". This guide states: "You can verify the cloud-init process by using

the diagnose debug cloud-init show command. The output shows datasource: Azure."

2. Fortinet Documentation: FortiGate-VM on AWS Administration Guide 7.4.1, Page 12,

"Verifying the installation". This guide confirms the indicator for AWS instances: "Run the

diagnose hardware sysinfo command. The output should show the manufacturer as Amazon

EC2." This validates why option C is incorrect.
