Major System FortiSIEM hangs during upgrade and reboot if there is no internet connectivity. This is because in 4.7.1, OS update was done during upgrade and reboot. This release provides two solutions: (1) OS upgrade via yum update now only happens during upgrade and not during reboot and (2) FortiSIEM goes to repositories set up in AWS Cloudfront AWS edge locations listed here (https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/details/#edge-locations) depending on where the FortiSIEM node is connecting from. The Cloudfront CDN distribution is created and controlled by FortiSIEM engineering. If the connection to this edge location fails, it connects to origin server ima ges-os.accelops.net which is hosted by FortiSIEM engineering in AWS
