Unrecognized Name issues with HomeAssistant

Recently I ran into an issue while trying to create a new instance of HomeAssistant on a K3s install of Kubernetes. Getting HomeAssistant up and running and connected to an MQTT server within the same cluster worked as expected. However, the issue came up when I attempted to get it to connect to NabuCasa or make connections out to any TLS/SSL (HTTPS) addresses. Viewing the HomeAssistant logs from the Settings->System->Logs area, I noticed I was getting a very vague error of tlsv1 unrecognized name. Searching around the internet for the issue affecting HomeAssistant just kept turning up people having issues with DNS but no actual “What the DNS issue was”. That was until I came across a Kubernetes StackOverflow Question where the person was getting the same issue but with a completely different application.
