Research direction

Read the linked Nginx SSL module documentation, then inspect the container configuration to find where ssl_session_cache is set or left at its default. Determine the compatibility and configuration implications of enabling a shared cache, and consider the issue resolved when the default behavior is changed or the rationale for keeping it is documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Nginx official document recommends to enable ssl_session_cache and set that to shared:name:size, which enables cache shared between all worker processes.

"To reduce the processor load it is recommended to set the number of worker processes equal to the number of processors, enable keep-alive connections,enable the shared session cache,"

I wonder whether the default setting need to be changed. Thanks.
