Ensure that the 'max_connections' database flag for a Cloud Databases Mysql instance is set

Information

RackSpace offers the option to create customized database configuration templates. These templates can be applied to any existing database instances and allow the user to modify system variable parameters from their default values. Establishing and maintaining baseline configurations is a security best practice.

max_connections - The current server SQL mode, which can be set dynamically.

NOTE - Please use an appropriate value that matches the policy of your organization or leave the .audit variable in its default state if the system variable parameter is not applicable for your environment.
