Kubernetes Engine support for specifying the maximum number of allowed load balancer connections to backend servers

When provisioning an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure load balancer for a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer, you can now use an annotation to specify the maximum number of simultaneous connections that the load balancer is allowed to make to backend servers (worker nodes) in the backend set.

In addition, you can use an annotation to specify a maximum listener connection rule that defines the maximum number of concurrent connections to the load balancer's listener that are allowed from the same originating IP address.

For more information, see Specifying the Maximum Number of Allowed Load Balancer Connections to Backend Servers and Specifying Max Listener Connection Rules.
