Description
Using TLS between workers and schedulers is appropriate in some situations, but in others it is not required. It also adds a non-trivial overhead and another entire failure mode to a Dask cluster.
Take for example a Dask cluster deployed to Kubernetes within AWS. Within the cluster VPC there isn't a strong need to enable TLS as the security boundary _is_ the cluster. If someone is inside and able to intercept traffic then they are [already so past the airtight hatchway](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20060508-22/?p=31283) that it's not important.
Currently you can't disable TLS. It would be handy to have an option to do so.
