Research direction
The issue asks to add rate limiting to the Nginx configuration for downloads of CLI, Docker, and iOS SDKs. The file to modify is at ansible/roles/nginx/templates/nginx.conf.j2 in the repository. Use the Nginx rate limiting documentation (https://www.nginx.com/blog/rate limiting nginx/) to implement the configuration. Ensure that only the download endpoints are rate limited, possibly by using location blocks with limit req directives.
