-* These charts have been tested on Google Kubernetes Engine and Azure Container Service. Other Kubernetes installations may work as well, if not please [open an issue](https://gitlab.com/charts/charts.gitlab.io/issues).

+**This chart is deprecated.** For small installations on Kubernetes today, we recommend the beta [`gitlab-omnibus` Helm chart](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/kubernetes/gitlab_omnibus.html).
 
+A new [cloud native GitLab chart](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/kubernetes/#cloud-native-gitlab-chart) is in development with increased scalability, resilience, among other benefits. The cloud native chart will replace both the `gitlab` and `gitlab-omnibus` charts when available later this year.
