How do you regularly pull 50-200 GB? This sounds like terrible practices or implementation at work. I've never seen docker images of that size that can't be shrunk with multistage, or docker shrink. I can see how someone could get to that size with just baking in all their models to the image itself but yuck.

windows docker images are incredibly bloated. I don't think I've seen one that size, but the base image for a windows container is like 17GB by itself, if I remember correctly. Basically just pulling down an entire Hyper-V image.

    base image for .NET Framework is 10GB. they only get larger from there. Largest on my machine right now is showing to take 20GB. Granted there are a lot of shared layers between images, so the amount of space on-disk is much less than 20GB. But if you don't have any of the layers already? You're looking at 20GB easy.

      And you have to start from scratch each month if you want to keep up with Windows Updates -- they apply to the base image.

      This isn't true... I just downloaded: https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-dotnet-framework https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-dotnet-framework It was about 2.7 / 2.8 GB in size. Total size on disk was 8.7GB but we are talking about download here. I would say you should be moving to .Net 6 it's been several years now that .Net Core has been out so there is no excuse. None of this is an excuse to get a 10Gbps internet connection to your house. I have a 500Mbps connection and with the corporate firewall my laptop gets 100-200Mbps connection and pulling those containers was like 10 minutes.
