#12It went from orange to red.
Incident Status Full Service Disruption
Re: Docker Hub Registry is down
#13What a coincidence, the same minute all my lightsail instances got unresponsive and then 20 minutes stuck on "stopping".
Launched a new one.. docker pull bam error. Customer unsatisfied.
Re: Docker Hub Registry is down
#14Regular 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).
Re: Docker Hub Registry is down
#15It seems like dockerhub requires a lot of bandwidth...lots of people being able to pull gigabytes worth of images everyday. Does anyone know anything behind the economics behind this? How can they offer it for free?

Likely the traditional model of taking a large amount of VC money, putting it in a pile, and then setting it on fire and waiting until they stop adding more, at which point the company ends.
Re: Docker Hub Registry is down
#18So my CI environment requires access to other docker images, all hosted on Docker Hub.
Seems like the tech giants should load balance these images for the good of the Internet to provide some decent redundancy and for my sanity at 11.30pm.

yeah there's a variety of "free at point of use" services driving the Internet and, sooner or later it seems likely there will need to be a change in how they're funded.
It's not just Docker hub, there's services like the various Programming language package repos (npm, rubygems etc) and the Linux distro package repos.
I would have had Github in that category, but now it's owned by MS, presumably they don't have many of that kind of funding problems...

Whenever one of our essential 3rd party services go down, I can only shrug and hope they figure it out quickly. They provide a good service and nobody has 100% uptime. Still better than solving it internally, which is even more likely to have downtime.
Partial failure is just fact of life. If this is a major issue for your process, it might be better to try and find ways to alter your process so this isn't an issue. Alternatively, mirror locally.
