Using --pids-limit -1 is not supported in OCP (from 4.8 if I recall correctly). as it basically removes the ability to limit the PIDs generate by the pod.
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2039187
I agree and recommend not using it for Ceph containers.

ODF uses the default RGW thread pool size so the limit of 1024 should suffice.
We will need to document for users increasing that they will need o update the pids limits in OCP accordingly.

See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5305611 for more info on how to increase the pids limit in OCP

Thanks Orit, moving over to documentation.
