VBA appliance FIPS mode

[User542]

Is is possible to set the Veeam Backup for AWS virtual appliance to run in FIPS mode?
We are looking at deploying it into a FedRAMP environment, and this would be a requirement.
Thanks

Hi,

There is a section regarding VBR in the user guide on enabling FIPS mode. VB for AWS is normally compliant to FIPS as well.

Thanks for the response, but the link is to Veeam Backup & Replication 12 - VMware vSphere.

We are needing for the Veeam Backup for AWS virtual appliance to run in FIPS mode.
When we login to the appliance and check for "cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled", it seems that the appliance is not running in FIPS mode.

Let me verify what can be done here.

Thank you. Any updates here? Am being asked if we can deploy this solution into a compliance environment that required all systems to be running in FIPS mode.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no update yet. We are still planning to take at it and either confirm full support or plan to put things that do not work into the roadmap.

Thanks!
