feat: Adding TLS support for Remote::Milvus vector_io (#2011)
# What does this PR do?
For the Issue :-
#[2010](https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-stack/issues/2010)
Currently, if we try to connect the Llama stack server to a remote
Milvus instance that has TLS enabled, the connection fails because TLS
support is not implemented in the Llama stack codebase. As a result,
users are unable to use secured Milvus deployments out of the box.

After adding this , the user will be able to connect to remote::Milvus
which is TLS enabled .
if TLS enabled :-
```
vector_io:
  - provider_id: milvus
    provider_type: remote::milvus
    config:
      uri: "http://<host>:<port>"
      token: "<user>:<password>"
      secure: True
      server_pem_path: "path/to/server.pem"
```

## Test Plan
I have already tested it by connecting to a Milvus instance which is TLS
enabled and i was able to start llama stack server .

# Milvus
[Milvus](https://milvus.io/) is an inline and remote vector database provider for Llama Stack. It
allows you to store and query vectors directly within a Milvus database.
That means you're not limited to storing vectors in memory or in a separate service.
## Features
- Easy to use
- Fully integrated with Llama Stack
## Usage
To use Milvus in your Llama Stack project, follow these steps:
1. Install the necessary dependencies.
2. Configure your Llama Stack project to use Milvus.
3. Start storing and querying vectors.
## Installation
You can install Milvus using pymilvus:
```bash
pip install pymilvus
```
## Configuration
In Llama Stack, Milvus can be configured in two ways:
- **Inline (Local) Configuration** - Uses Milvus-Lite for local storage
- **Remote Configuration** - Connects to a remote Milvus server
### Inline (Local) Configuration
The simplest method is local configuration, which requires setting `db_path`, a path for locally storing Milvus-Lite files:
```yaml
vector_io:
- provider_id: milvus
provider_type: inline::milvus
config:
db_path: ~/.llama/distributions/together/milvus_store.db
```
### Remote Configuration
Remote configuration is suitable for larger data storage requirements:
#### Standard Remote Connection
```yaml
vector_io:
- provider_id: milvus
provider_type: remote::milvus
config:
uri: "http://<host>:<port>"
token: "<user>:<password>"
```
#### TLS-Enabled Remote Connection (One-way TLS)
For connections to Milvus instances with one-way TLS enabled:
```yaml
vector_io:
- provider_id: milvus
provider_type: remote::milvus
config:
uri: "https://<host>:<port>"
token: "<user>:<password>"
secure: True
server_pem_path: "/path/to/server.pem"
```
#### Mutual TLS (mTLS) Remote Connection
For connections to Milvus instances with mutual TLS (mTLS) enabled:
```yaml
vector_io:
- provider_id: milvus
provider_type: remote::milvus
config:
uri: "https://<host>:<port>"
token: "<user>:<password>"
secure: True
ca_pem_path: "/path/to/ca.pem"
client_pem_path: "/path/to/client.pem"
client_key_path: "/path/to/client.key"
```
#### Key Parameters for TLS Configuration
- **`secure`**: Enables TLS encryption when set to `true`. Defaults to `false`.
- **`server_pem_path`**: Path to the **server certificate** for verifying the servers identity (used in one-way TLS).
- **`ca_pem_path`**: Path to the **Certificate Authority (CA) certificate** for validating the server certificate (required in mTLS).
- **`client_pem_path`**: Path to the **client certificate** file (required for mTLS).
- **`client_key_path`**: Path to the **client private key** file (required for mTLS).
## Documentation
See the [Milvus documentation](https://milvus.io/docs/install-overview.md) for more details about Milvus in general.
For more details on TLS configuration, refer to the [TLS setup guide](https://milvus.io/docs/tls.md).
