And the exact time you have some production emergency is probably the exact time you have a lot of containers being pulled as every node rolls forward/back rapidly...
And then docker.io rate limits you and suddenly your 10 minute outage becomes a 1 hour outage whilst someone plays a wild goose chase trying to track down every docker hub reference and point it at some local mirror/cache.

- prepend 2y agoCompanies that change their free tiers also change their paid tiers. I just don’t build my environment to rely on unstable companies. That’s sort of the comedy of second order effects as by reducing the amount of free stuff, I think Docker will end up reducing their paid customers.
