How to deploy Insights in a FIPS-enabled cluster

Insights does not currently support FIPS. However, you can deploy Insights in a FIPS-enabled cluster by running it on a dedicated non-FIPS node using node selectors and tolerations.

Take the following steps:

Add a non-FIPS node to your FIPS-enabled cluster.
Apply a taint to the non-FIPS node to prevent other workloads from scheduling on it, and assign it a label that matches the node selector you will configure in the next step.
In the cluster_config.json file, configure Insights to run exclusively on the non-FIPS node using node selectors and tolerations:
```
{
  "insights": {
    "enabled": true,
    "advanced_configuration": {
      "global": {
        "nodeSelectorLabels": {
          "nodename": "insights"
        },
        "tolerations": [
          {
            "key": "insights",
            "operator": "Equal",
            "value": "true",
            "effect": "NoSchedule"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
{
  "insights": {
    "enabled": true,
    "advanced_configuration": {
      "global": {
        "nodeSelectorLabels": {
          "nodename": "insights"
        },
        "tolerations": [
          {
            "key": "insights",
            "operator": "Equal",
            "value": "true",
            "effect": "NoSchedule"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
```
Note:
Make sure the nodeSelectorLabels and tolerations match the labels and taints you applied to your non-FIPS node.
Apply the configuration by rerunning the Automation Suite installer.
