There is a technical inconsistency here. Step 6 (line 97) mentions downloading a CA certificate, but this step instructs users to clear the Use SSL checkbox. For public endpoints on a cloud service, SSL should be enabled and configured using the provided CA certificate for security.

Suggested change
- On the **SSH/SSL** tab, clear the **Use SSL** checkbox.
- On the **SSH/SSL** tab, select the **Use SSL** checkbox and specify the CA certificate path in the **CA file** field.

The example configuration for Premium is missing the CA_PATH environment variable, which is mentioned in Step 6 (line 135) and included in the Starter/Essential section (line 107). Adding it ensures completeness.

Suggested change
TIDB_DB_NAME='test'
TIDB_DB_NAME='test'\n CA_PATH=''
