This kernel-independent design allows FIPS containers to run on any recent Linux kernel, eliminating the traditional requirement for kernels configured in FIPS mode. This architectural approach addresses a longstanding limitation in deploying FIPS-compliant workloads (FIPS being the U.S. federal cryptographic standard) by removing kernel dependencies that previously restricted deployment options, prevented local development, and limited cloud platform choices.
