Description

FEATURE REQUEST

Title: Load Balancer Annotation should support setting MaxConnections for Backend for overload protection.

Current LoadBalancer Annotations do not support setting MaxConnections to backends. This is a critical setting required for overload protection of services. Hence this annotation should be supported and is critical to add for overload protection of services.

OCI load balancer backend details: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/oracle/oci/latest/docs/resources/load_balancer_backend
Required variable: max_connections
