Description
Description
A couple of months ago, I observed that Docker had a built-in retry mechanism for docker push operations, which was beneficial in handling intermittent network issues or transient errors during image pushes. However, recently I noticed that this functionality seems to be either altered or unavailable.
Could you please provide clarification on the following points:
Has there been any recent update or change to the retry mechanism in Docker image pushing operations?
If the retry mechanism has been modified or removed, what is the reason behind this change?
Are there any alternative recommendations or best practices for managing retry behavior during Docker image pushes?
I appreciate any insights or information you can provide on this matter. If possible, I would also like to understand if there are plans to reintroduce or enhance retry capabilities in future Docker releases.
Reproduce
docker push : a
Expected behavior
docker should retry 5 times before exiting with an error.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the docker push command and the provided Docker 27.0.3 environment, then trace where push retry behavior is handled in the CLI. Compare the observed behavior with the expected five retries and document whether the change is intentional; done means the behavior and any recommendation or required change are clearly established.
