* `consul.hashicorp.com/connect-service-protocol` - For pods that will be
registered with Consul's [central configuration](/docs/agent/config_entries.html)
feature, information about the protocol the service uses is required. Users
can define the protocol directly using this annotation on the pod spec, or by
defining a default value for all services using the Helm chart's
[defaultProtocol](/docs/platform/k8s/helm.html#v-connectinject-centralconfig-defaultprotocol)
option. Specific annotations will always override the default value.
### Deployments, StatefulSets, etc.
The annotations for configuring Connect must be on the pod specification.

This may not be changed once the cluster is bootstrapped and running, since Consul doesn't yet support an automatic way to change this value.
* <a name="v-global-pod-security-policies" href="#v-pod-security-policies">`enablePodSecurityPolicies`</a> (`boolean: false`) -
This flag controls whether [`PodSecurityPolicies`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/) are created
for the Consul components that this chart creates.
* <a name="v-global-bootstrap-acls" href="#v-global-bootstrap-acls">`bootstrapACLs`</a> (`boolean: false`) - This flag controls
whether the Helm chart automatically enables ACLs within the Consul cluster. This requires both Consul servers and clients to be run within
Kubernetes. Requires Consul v1.5+ and consul-k8s v0.8.0+.
* <a name="v-server" href="#v-server">`server`</a> - Values that configure running a Consul server within Kubernetes.
* <a name="v-server-enabled" href="#v-server-enabled">`enabled`</a> (`boolean: global.enabled`) - If true, the chart will install all the resources necessary for a Consul server cluster. If you're running Consul externally and want agents within Kubernetes to join that cluster, this should probably be false.

A [selector](/docs/acl/acl-auth-methods.html#binding-rules) for restricting automatic injection to only matching services based on
their associated service account. By default, services using the `default` Kubernetes service account will not have a proxy injected.

Turns on the central configuration feature. Pods that have a Connect proxy injected will have their service
automatically registered in this central configuration.

If defined, this value will be used as the default protocol type for all services registered with the central configuration.
This can be overridden by using the
[protocol annotation](/docs/platform/k8s/connect.html#consul-hashicorp-com-connect-service-protocol)
directly on any pod spec.

This value is a raw json string that will be applied to all Connect proxy sidecar pods. It can include any valid configuration
for the configured proxy.
```yaml
# proxyDefaults values are formatted as a multi-line string:
proxyDefaults: |
