### AI overview

Chainguard FIPS Images can run on any Linux kernel by replacing the kernel entropy source with a userspace entropy source. This enables FIPS workloads on current kernels, hardware, instance types, developer machines, CI/CD deployments, and non-FIPS managed cloud offerings while supporting runtimes such as NodeJS, Python, Go, PHP, .NET, and C/C++.

### Source excerpt

Chainguard's FIPS Images are available for deployment on any Linux kernel, thanks to some new innovation by our engineering team. Learn what this means.
