Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for enabling FIPS on AKS node pools. However, the Windows section includes a step requiring an RDP connection and registry editing, which is a Windows-specific tool and workflow. The Linux instructions use standard CLI and kubectl commands, while the Windows instructions rely on GUI tools (RDP, regedit) and do not offer PowerShell or command-line alternatives. The Windows section is presented after the Linux section, but the reliance on Windows GUI tools may create friction for users seeking parity in automation or scripting.
Recommendations
- Provide PowerShell or command-line instructions for verifying FIPS status on Windows nodes, rather than only GUI (RDP/regedit) steps.
- Clarify if remote scripting or automation is possible for Windows node pool verification, similar to Linux.
- Consider mentioning cross-platform tools or approaches for both OS types where possible.
- Ensure that all verification and operational steps can be completed via CLI or automation for both Linux and Windows.
