Description
``We are running a webapp on Azure, which uses Elastic APM (elastic-apm==6.23.0). Since 08/29/2024, without changing anything our app is failing to run, with:
```
crypto/fips/fips.c:154: OpenSSL internal error: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE
Aborted (core dumped)
```
We noticed the Azure webapp environment (linux) now has the following kernel parameter:
```
# sysctl crypto.fips_enabled
crypto.fips_enabled = 1
```
**To Reproduce**
```
# python
Python 3.12.2 (main, Feb 22 2024, 11:15:41) [GCC 10.2.1 20210110] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import elasticapm
>>> apm=elasticapm.Client()
>>> elasticapm.instrument()
crypto/fips/fips.c:154: OpenSSL internal error: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE
Aborted (core dumped)
#
```
**Environment (please complete the following information)**
- OS: Linux hostname 5.15.164.1-1.cm2 #1 SMP Sun Aug 18 19:16:21 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Python version: 3.12
- APM Server version: unrelevant, it fail before even connecting (no need to have an APM server to test it)
- Agent version: 6.23.0
**Additional context**
