@ -81,6 +81,12 @@ The following Kubernetes resource annotations could be used on a pod to control
local port to listen for those connections. When transparent proxy is enabled,
this annotation is optional. This annotation can be either _labeled_ or _unlabeled_. We recommend the labeled format because it has a more consistent syntax and can be used to reference cluster peers as upstreams.
<Note>
If the upstream annotation contains a dot (for example, `static-server.svc:8080`), you may not be able to reference the auto-generated environment variables (`<NAME>_CONNECT_SERVICE_HOST` and `<NAME>_CONNECT_SERVICE_PORT`) since the environment variables will also contain the dot.
</Note>
- **Labeled**:
The labeled annotation format allows you to reference any service as an upstream. You can specify a Consul Enterprise namespace. You can also specify an admin partition in the same datacenter, a cluster peer, or a WAN-federated datacenter.

use Kubernetes DNS to connect to your desired upstream.
