[We are deprecating the certificate-based integration with Kubernetes](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/11/15/deprecating-the-cert-based-kubernetes-integration/).
The timeline of removal of the integration from the product is planned to happen in two steps, starting with milestone 15.0 and finishing in GitLab version 15.6.
[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/).
In 15.0, we plan to introduce a feature flag that will allow GitLab Self-Managed customers to keep the certificate-based integration enabled, it will be disabled by default. We plan to remove this feature flag together with the underlying code in GitLab version 15.6.
The certificate-based integration will continue to receive security and
critical fixes, and features built on the integration will continue to work with supported Kubernetes
versions until the final removal in 15.6.
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.
For a more robust, secure, forthcoming, and reliable integration with Kubernetes, we recommend the use of the
[Kubernetes Agent](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/clusters/agent/) to connect Kubernetes clusters with GitLab.
We provide [migration plans](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/infrastructure/clusters/migrate_to_gitlab_agent.html) in the documentation.
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
