Gazebo Fortress (formerly Ignition) provides the latest features of simulation development and enhances the capabilities of a ROS-based system. This talk serves to define best practices of integrating simulation with ROS 2, drawn from accumulated experience and successful deployments. The talk will additionally cover tips and techniques to ease migration to the latest versions. Consequently, the practical discussion will be informative to both existing maintainers as well as newcomers. With Gazebo Classic approaching end-of-life in 2025, now is an ideal time to begin migrating existing simulation environments and plugins to ROS 2 and Gazebo Fortress and benefit from continued support.
