Description

When updating opam.ocaml.org, the majority of the time (~3h) is spent waiting for the docker image to be pushed, then pulled again.
Would it be possible to devise a solution that would speed up this part? 99% of the content usually stay the same so maybe only the difference could be uploaded somehow?

Research direction

Start by tracing the deployment path used when updating opam.ocaml.org, focusing on where the Docker image is pushed and pulled. Measure those stages and investigate how unchanged image content is handled. Done means a documented, working approach that materially reduces deployment time without changing the deployed content.
