Description

Dockerhub announced they will limit image pulls: https://www.docker.com/blog/scaling-docker-to-serve-millions-more-developers-network-egress/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTW1WbE5qaGlORFJoTXprMSIsInQiOiJ1RllHNk9Tclk4MWRpdzRsMWFvU3RwU05EamtcL05adTFYbzFhTlN6cWE0VUxBd2dCUVd0WTd1ZGU1alBuMCt2ZFdkUjZuWU5GelBEbnhISzZrN3IycVIxTk1VekszR0VHUFl4KzRuVnhDWk1lU0ZVSDRPYXp5bXZMcTRNanNwQXoifQ%3D%3D

Especially in setups with a security proxy in place the rate limit can be hit quite easily for anonymous pulls, since the rate limit is applied by IP then (and in case of a security proxy the same IPs are shared by a large number of people and systems in a company).

Research direction

The issue names Docker Hub rate limits and shared security-proxy IPs but no file, test, or proposed change. Start by checking how the quickstarters' CI/CD setup performs upstream image pulls and whether those pulls are anonymous; completion criteria are not defined and would need to be agreed after confirming the impact.
