Why does the Harbor VM need 32 cores and 64GB of RAM? Especially if it's only serving 32,000 pulls over 2 months.

I want something like "This could have been an email" but "This could have been a Caddy instance and static files" Hell Git doesn't even need the Git protocol if you do `update-server-info`

It does seem mostly possible to host a Docker registry with static files and a bit of config:

I haven’t tried running this yet, but it seems worth keeping in mind. It’s relatively simple software so the idea could probably be pretty easily adapted to other situations.

It does seem like a lot. Though, it's also a rounding error for them. It is probably sized to optimize for something else than just $

I would have expected that they also started saving on bandwidth, although they still have to pay for intra-regional transfer.

Do they? If all this is in their DC then it’s going over their wires, unless their colo provider somehow had visibility into their traffic (which I’d guess they don’t).

It's in Deft's ORD and IAD data centers, using their network for ingress/egress. Still has to go over transit between those two locations.

This looks nice. What would be good on-prem S3 companion for this? I know if minio but I think there was some recent drama about it (I don't know specifics, just a feeling)

The article mentions Pure Flashblade. Looks like dedicated hardware. https://www.purestorage.com/products/unstructured-data-stora...

Yes, but I'd rather some self hosted software solution

If you want to have replication built in, you can give https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ a try
