Description

The official docs state that:

> [Integrated Storage](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/internals/integrated-storage) native to Vault is now recommended rather than using Consul for Vault storage. Use Consul for Vault storage only[ when there are clear reasons](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/configuration/storage#integrated-storage-vs-consul-as-vault-storage).

[Source](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/tutorials/day-one-consul/ha-with-consul)

However the default `values.yaml` of this helm chart is suggesting to use consul for HA.

Either I'm misunderstanding something (very possible) or there is a mismatch.

Research direction

Read the chart's default values.yaml and compare its Consul-for-HA guidance with the linked Vault Integrated Storage and Consul documentation. Confirm whether the comment is outdated or the default recommendation needs clarification, then update the relevant documentation or comment so the chart guidance is consistent.
