@simitt (and others who are interested) I added the FIPS for APM Server content to the main page FAQ. Instead we could add a new topic that would appear in the left nav which might make it more discoverable, but we wouldn't have much (if any) additional content to add. What are your thoughts? |

Could you also add a Tech Preview call out here, similar as it is done in the Fleet reference?
I think the placement is fine as is. |
