New Docker Hub pull rate limits? What you have to do…
692Big changes are coming to Docker Hub that will impact almost everyone using container images! Starting April 1st, stricter pull limits are being introduced, potentially disrupting your workflows and automation pipelines.
In this video, I'm breaking down exactly what these new limits mean, why Docker is making this change, and – most importantly – **what you can do about it**. We'll explore solutions like GitLab's dependency proxy, alternative container registries (including self-hosting options!), and even show you how easy it is to authenticate with Docker Hub to increase your pull limits.
Don't get caught out by these changes – watch now to stay ahead of the curve and keep your projects running smoothly!
