# if you need your Control Plane to be able to handle a non-trivial number of concurrent connections
# (a total of both incoming and outgoing connections), you need to set proper resource limits on
# the `kuma-cp` process, especially maximum number of open files.
#
# it happens that `systemd` units are not affected by the traditional `ulimit` configuration,
# and you must set resource limits as part of `systemd` unit itself.
#
# to check effective resource limits set on a running `kuma-cp` instance, execute
#
#   $ cat /proc/$(pgrep kuma-cp)/limits
#
#   Limit                     Soft Limit           Hard Limit           Units
#   ...
#   Max open files            1024                 4096                 files
#   ...
#
# for Kuma demo setup, we chose the same limit as `docker` and `containerd` set by default.
# See https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/3201
