Do not recommend Certificate Method
What does this MR do?
In the scaling agenda, it has been an ongoing conversation on the confusion in our doc regarding attaching clusters. While there is a plan to start by fixing the information architecture before doing the content update. Nevertheless, we should aim to have our docs reflect the reality as soon as possible since certificate-based integration docs shows up prominently in search engine.
For this quick iteration, let's ensure that we aren't pointing users to the certificate attachment method either by:
- removing the content
- clearly marking it as deprecated
- find other ways of lowering the visibility
Let's get this merged in the next few days so that we can continue with the larger remodel.
