Assuming Elastic Stack 6.4.0+ is running within ECE, can it be configured for FIPS 140-2?

- [Configuring Elasticsearch in a FIPS 140-2 Environment | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/blog/configuring-elasticsearch-in-a-fips-140-2-environment)
- [FIPS 140-2 | Elasticsearch Reference [6.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/fips-140-compliance.html)

Please advise.

That looks like you're running on "Cloud" (ie [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co)) not "Cloud Enterprise" (on prem version), is that right?

In Cloud most settings (apart from [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-add-user-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-add-user-settings.html)), need to be set by an admin via a support request (at which point we can advise on to what extent the underlying feature is supported by cloud)
