Hello everyone,
I’m trying MicroCloud for a new sandbox cluster I’m building at work. One of our security requirements, driven by NIST/FedRAMP considerations, is to use FIPS-enabled kernels on most systems that may handle sensitive data.
However, when FIPS is enabled, the MicroCloud installation fails during MicroOVN initialization. I found that a few related bug reports have already been opened, but I have not seen much indication of whether this is being actively investigated or considered in scope.
I’m trying to understand whether FIPS support for MicroCloud/MicroOVN is something that is expected to be fixed eventually, or whether it is outside the current scope of the project. That would help me make an informed decision about whether to continue pursuing MicroCloud, wait for a fix, or consider a different approach.

Thank you very much! I am an experienced Proxmox user and so far I like MicroCloud!
