Based on the filename string you provided ( fgtvm64_kvm_v747_build2731_fortinet_out_kvm_qcow2 ), you are looking at a Virtual Appliance intended for a KVM hypervisor (like Proxmox, RHV, or Libvirt).
To the uninitiated, it is a jumbled code. To the architect, it is the newest and most vital heartbeat of a virtual defense system. The Genesis: Version 7.4.7
While there isn't a single blog post dedicated solely to this specific build string, the following resources provide the most "useful" guidance for deploying and managing this new Fortinet KVM image:
: This format is like a living organism. It only takes up as much space as it needs, expanding as the network grows, and allowing for "snapshots" that let an administrator freeze time before a dangerous update. The Mission: A New Guardian
