rancher_kubernetes_engine_config:
  addon_job_timeout: 45
  addons: |-
    ---
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: ingress-nginx-controller
      namespace: ingress-nginx
    data:
      max-worker-connections: "8192"

RKE2:

Edit config of the RKE2 downstream cluster>> Go to Add-on Config tab >> Additional Manifests section >> Paste the contents below:

---
apiVersion: helm.cattle.io/v1
kind: HelmChartConfig
metadata:
  name: rke2-ingress-nginx
  namespace: kube-system
spec:
  valuesContent: |-
    controller:
