I’m hoping GCP/AWS steps up and creates a limitless docker registry. Considering the size of their infrastructure operations, I suspect this would be a small cost but bring a lot of goodwill.
One thing this is bound to do is to make the process of using docker a bit more complex. Explicit registries will probably start to be used everywhere, which is something I welcome. But it seems like a really poor decision by docker, the company to do this: they’re going to drive people off using docker hub.
- verdverm 6y agoThey have registries already which work with docker after an auth setup. They are generally private to you. Yes, docker is a struggling company which sold some lines of business and is now trying to reinvent itself again towards developers. Given other recent moves, I'm not sure the new leadership understands how to do this.
- forty 6y agoThey have registries but at least AWS' one is not free at all...
- verdverm 6y agoThey all cost money, because it's expensive to ship bytes out of the cloud. Docker is likely going the way of the Dodo because they likely funded our free access with VC money. They also probably made a bad assumption in that they could define the only container format before standards bodies got involved. Blitz Scaling was the mantra of the time, seems to have bitten those back who took a bite of that cake.
