[ The certificate-based integration with Kubernetes will be deprecated and removed](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/11/15/deprecating-the-cert-based-kubernetes-integration/).

2022-02-21 00:18:15 +00:00
If you are a self-managed customer, in GitLab 15.0, a feature flag will be introduced so you can keep
certificate-based integration enabled. The flag will be disabled by default.
The flag and the related code will be removed in GitLab 15.6.

2022-02-21 00:18:15 +00:00
Until the final removal in 15.6, features built on the integration will continue to work, and
GitLab will continue to fix security and critical issues.

If you use GitLab.com, certificate-based integrations will cease functioning in 15.0.
For a more robust, secure, forthcoming, and reliable integration with Kubernetes, we recommend you use the

[ agent for Kubernetes](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/clusters/agent/) to connect Kubernetes clusters with GitLab.
See the documentation for [how to migrate](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/infrastructure/clusters/migrate_to_gitlab_agent.html).
