+- **API URL** -
+  It's the URL that GitLab uses to access the Kubernetes API. Kubernetes
+  exposes several APIs, we want the "base" URL that is common to all of them,
+  e.g., `https://kubernetes.example.com` rather than `https://kubernetes.example.com/api/v1`.
+- **CA certificate** (optional) -
+  If the API is using a self-signed TLS certificate, you'll also need to include
+  the `ca.crt` contents here.
+- **Project namespace** (optional) - The following apply:
+  - By default you don't have to fill it in; by leaving it blank, GitLab will
+    create one for you.
+  - Each project should have a unique namespace.
+  - The project namespace is not necessarily the namespace of the secret, if
+    you're using a secret with broader permissions, like the secret from `default`.
+  - You should **not** use `default` as the project namespace.
+  - If you or someone created a secret specifically for the project, usually
+    with limited permissions, the secret's namespace and project namespace may
+    be the same.
+- **Token** -
+  GitLab authenticates against Kubernetes using service tokens, which are
+  scoped to a particular `namespace`. If you don't have a service token yet,
+  you can follow the
+  [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/)
+  to create one. You can also view or create service tokens in the
