    We introduced the `global.kas.tls.*` Helm values to facilitate TLS communication between KAS and your Helm chart components.
    The old values `gitlab.kas.privateApi.tls.enabled` and `gitlab.kas.privateApi.tls.secretName` are deprecated and scheduled for removal in GitLab 17.0.

    Because the new values provide a streamlined, comprehensive method to enable TLS for KAS, you should use `global.kas.tls.*` instead of `gitlab.kas.privateApi.tls.*`. The `gitlab.kas.privateApi.tls.*` For more information, see:
