Can anyone tell me where to find information about Prefect and TLS support?

Hi @Jeff Williams could you clarify more on what exactly you want to know about Prefect and TLS?

Sure. Does Prefect support using TLS & if so, what version? Is the version being used configurable? Backstory - I work in a highly regulated industry and need to ensure to the right internal compliance team what Prefect's support of TLS is before we look at deploying this to our production environment.

And are you referring to Prefect Cloud or the server?

Server as we are implementing Prefect in our own GCP environment.

I think it would depend on how you end up running the server. The Apollo endpoint is all that needs to be exposed for your flows to communicate with the server (port 4200 from where you launch it). However you choose to expose that port is where you would configure TLS. Server doesn’t natively ship with any auth configuration for these kinds of things as each user has a different requirement for how they would set it up

Great. That is helpful. (I am still coming up to speed on Prefect's abilities). What I am reading is that Prefect (Apollo) can support whatever authentication mechanism we need it to, correct?
