N4K FIPS Support

FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) support is included by default in the N4K Helm chart. However, it is important to note that FIPS support is exclusive to the enterprise version of Kyverno and is not available in the open-source version.

Multi-arch support

FIPS support is available for amd64 and arm64.

Why FIPS?

The National Institute of Standards (NIST) created the Federal Information Processing Standard with the goal of improving the security of computer and telecommunications systems in the government.

How to enable FIPS support for N4K

To enable FIPS support for N4K, follow these steps:

 helm repo add nirmata https://nirmata.github.io/kyverno-charts/

Quality Assurance Verification
