Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for enabling FIPS on AKS node pools. However, there is a slight bias toward Windows in the verification steps for Windows node pools, which require users to use RDP and regedit, both Windows-specific tools. The Linux instructions use standard CLI and kubectl commands, which are cross-platform. The Windows section is presented after the Linux section, but the verification method for Windows is more manual and tool-specific. There are no PowerShell-only examples, and Linux instructions are generally complete and shown first.
Recommendations
- Provide alternative verification steps for Windows node pools using cross-platform tools (e.g., PowerShell, Azure CLI, or kubectl labels) instead of only RDP/regedit.
- Clarify if there are CLI or kubectl-based ways to verify FIPS status on Windows nodes, similar to the Linux approach.
- Consider mentioning Linux troubleshooting or verification steps in parity with Windows, such as checking system logs or using OS-level commands.
- Ensure that all examples and steps for both OS types use platform-agnostic tools where possible, or provide parity in depth and clarity.
