## AI overview

Chainguard announces three Go 1.27 container images: go, go-fips, and go-openssl-fips. The options differ in their FIPS-validated cryptography, including whether cryptography is built in or selected at deployment time.

## Source excerpt

Chainguard simplifies Go 1.27 with three images and a new option to choose FIPS-validated cryptography at deployment without recompiling.
