Deprecation of dashboard FIPS images

Since inception, Linkerd dashboard’s support for FIPS environments relies on BEL FIPS support. We recently discovered that Linkerd dashboard images with the -fips name extensions were inadvertently published to the container registry. These images were published in error and are no longer being provided as of this release.

Who is affected

Any customer that previously installed Linkerd dashboard by appending -fips to image versions.

What you need to do

Omit -fips from versions and follow the Linkerd dashboard installation instructions.
