    Hello everyone.  During a recent implementation of the VIP Authentication Hub, we ran into an issue of failing TLS connections and long delays generating transaction ID GUIDs while trying to deploy and operate containers in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).  Our solution engineers figured out how to run an entropy gathering daemon across all Linux Kubernetes worker nodes, and we thought this might be useful to any customers running containers in Kubernetes.  Please see the attached document for more details.
