 The Pinniped team provides an [example Dockerfile](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/pinniped/blob/main/hack/Dockerfile_fips)
 demonstrating how you can build Pinniped images in a FIPS compatible way.

 However, we do not provide official support for FIPS configuration, and we may not
 respond to GitHub issues opened related to FIPS support.
 We provide this for informational purposes only.
