Regular reminder that Docker Hub is not really an enterprise registry with an SLA. You should use pretty much anything else for serious applications that rely on pulling images in the hot path (such as auto-scaling up).

I wish I knew this 2 years ago, going to have to migrate to something that isn’t down every month.
Being paranoid helps. My pipelines never pull images from the hub, I always store those locally.
do you have some kind of a maintenance routine that pulls image updates? you can end up with ancient docker hub images, because without --pull when compiling docker image, docker build won't pull base image updates by default
That's right. Update on on-need basis only. Do not fix what's working ;)
