[how can implement cors and session stickyness in ingress(haproxy)](/discussions/37272-how-can-implement-cors-and-session-stickyness-in-ingress-haproxy)

Question on: F5 NGINX
[Improve the delivery of static resources](/discussions/12716-improve-the-delivery-of-static-resources)

Currently nginx can store these files in cache for a short period of time. Adding this into your configuration block tells Nginx to store a maximum of many files in cache for 30 seconds, excluding files that have not been accessed in 20 seconds and only files that have at least 5 accesses during this time. my proposal is that nginx should implement frequently establish these values ​​automatically.
