## AI overview

This tutorial explains FIPS requirements for cryptographic modules and how Redpanda supports FIPS-compliant operation. It covers validated OpenSSL libraries, FIPS mode settings, licensing, deployment limitations, and an example single-node cluster installation on RHEL.

## Source excerpt

Redpanda now supports FIPS, so you can run our clusters in secure environments with strict federal security standards for crypto modules.
