Starting 4/1 Unauthed Docker Hub Pulls will be limited to 10 per hour
docker.comHi all, I figured this is pretty critical to share out. Docker recently announced in February that starting April 1st unauthenticated Docker Pulls from the Docker Hub registry will be limited to 10 per hour. This is a pretty significant breaking change, especially for those that run Kubernetes in production.
Many Kubernetes clusters may host open source software with images pulled from docker hub without credentials, thus by default the pulls are unauthenticated. And many of these clusters run behind a NAT.
I was very surprised to see this warning from Digital Ocean today and that there's only a 3 day lead time to address this. Surfacing for visibility in case anyone else doesn't regularly follow Docker Hub updates.
Yeah, we saw this about a month ago, but I’m ready to be busy on the 1st. Maybe everything will be fine? Or maybe we see widespread internet troubles in the 1st? Party on! I’ll be letting my pager rest this weekend so it’s good and ready to go on Tuesday.
Yeah, might be more like 6 months from now when I upgrade my k8s cluster version and cycle out containers I'll have no idea why things are failing. Fun times.
