I see the vendor claims about Kubernetes integration. But their high-availability documentation is mostly for traditional active-passive firewall clusters.
Has anyone pushed FortiGate into a true, high-throughput K8s ingress scenario? Not just a single VM. I'm talking:
* Multiple active-active FortiGates handling east-west and north-south.
* Real load balancing of traffic across cluster pods.
* Integrated telemetry that actually maps to K8s concepts (namespaces, services, not just IPs).
Specifically:
* What's the actual failover time when a node dies? Sub-second or multi-second?
* How are you handling persistent connections during a failover event?
* Is the K8s CNI integration stable, or a constant source of pain?
The white papers are vague on the gritty details. Looking for real deployment scars.

Show me the methodology.
