 Declare parameters for constructing the `redis` connections. Registry instances
 may use the Redis instance for several applications. Currently, it caches
 information about immutable blobs. Most of the `redis` options control
 how the registry connects to the `redis` instance. You can control the pool's
-behavior with the [pool](#pool) subsection.

+TLS connection settings with the [tls](#tls) subsection (in-transit encryption).
 
 You should configure Redis with the **allkeys-lru** eviction policy, because the
 registry does not set an expiration value on keys.
