Ever wonder why Google outage notifications always say stuff like "this impacted 0.01752% of users"? Because if they leave that out, the PR department ends up flooded with questions from reporters about "how bad was this outage, exactly?", and less-diligent publications running "Google suffers massive outage" headlines.
- tyingq 4y agoIt's really misleading though, as it only reflect the owners of the images. Presumably I should count as an affected user if I don't own the image, but try to download it.
- wizzwizz4 4y agoI think that's what they're trying to say: you're not an affected user if it's not your image, because you can't download it in the first place.
- tyingq 4y agoMeaning I can't download it because their account was zapped after the 30 days? I could certainly download it before all this.
- nmjohn 4y agoNope - public images are not affected - you never would have been able to download a relevant image if you weren't in the private org.
- tyingq 4y agoI'm still confused. As I understood, for example, "httptookit" is one of the affected accounts. They have public images here: https://hub.docker.com/u/httptoolkit https://hub.docker.com/u/httptoolkit The original announcement said: > If you don't upgrade to a paid subscription, Docker will retain your organization data for 30 days, after which it will be subject to deletion. During that period you will maintain access to any of your public images. That sounds a lot like the public images were subject to deletion. At the very least, subject to being frozen in time and not updated/updateable, which can be worse in some cases.
