AWS linux: Remove FIPS validation section from AL2027 security page

Service: linux · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: linux/al2027/ug/security.md

Summary

Removes the FIPS validation bullet and section stating FIPS-validated kernel and crypto modules are unavailable in preview, and drops the FIPS entry from the TOC.

Security assessment

This is a removal of preview-scope FIPS availability text, not a fix for a specific vulnerability or incident; it reduces rather than adds security documentation.

Evidence

-FIPS-validated kernel and crypto modules are not available in the preview. They will be available before GA.
