+## Cloud Native Hybrid reference architecture with Helm Charts
+
+Cloud Native Hybrid Reference Architecture is an alternative approach where select _stateless_
+components are deployed in Kubernetes via our official [Helm Charts](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/),
+and _stateful_ components are deployed in compute VMs with Omnibus.
+
+The [2k GitLab Cloud Native Hybrid](2k_users.md#cloud-native-hybrid-reference-architecture-with-helm-charts-alternative) (non HA) and [3k GitLab Cloud Native Hybrid](3k_users.md#cloud-native-hybrid-reference-architecture-with-helm-charts-alternative) (HA) reference architectures are the smallest we recommend in Kubernetes.
+For environments that need to serve less users, you can lower the node specs. Depending on your user count, you can lower all suggested node specs as desired. However, it's recommended that you don't go lower than the [general requirements](../../install/requirements.md).
