On August 24th, we announced the implementation of rate limiting for Docker container pulls for some users. Beginning November 2, Docker will begin phasing in limits of Docker container pull requests for anonymous and free authenticated users. The limits will be fully enforced Monday, November 2, from 9-10 am PT, and then reduced to 5,000 pulls per 6 hours for anonymous and free users. This will briefly inform some users whether they are exceeding the limits, but allow service to resume within an hour. The limits will be gradually reduced over a number of weeks until the final levels (where anonymous users are limited to 100 container pulls per six hours and free users limited to 200 container pulls per six hours) are reached. All paid Docker accounts (Pro. Team or Legacy subscribers) have up to 50,000 pulls in a 24 hour period.

The rationale behind the phased implementation periods is to allow our anonymous and free tier users and integrators to see the places where anonymous CI/CD processes are pulling container images. This will allow Docker users to address the limitations in one of two ways: upgrade to a Docker Pro or Docker Team subscription, or adjust application pipelines to accommodate the container image request limits. After a lot of thought and discussion, we’ve decided on this gradual, phased increase over the upcoming weeks instead of an abrupt implementation of the policy. An up-do-date status update on rate limitations is available at https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limits.

Following the second video about Docker basics, in this video, I explain Docker architecture and explain the different building blocks of the docker engine; docker client, API, Docker Daemon. I also explain what a docker registry is and I finish the video with a demo explaining and illustrating how to use Docker hub.

An image like the one we created in the Node.js Hello World Docker Container from scratch post is simple, yet it’s a perfect example to try one of the cool features of Docker, provided through Docker Hub, the official hosting service of public and private Docker Images. Before we can do that, however, we need to register on Docker Hub. Docker Hub is free in its basic plan which includes unlimited public repos and one private repo.

This all-hands was an effort to further deepen our engagement with the community and bring users, contributors and staff together on a quarterly basis to share updates on what we're working on and what our priorities are for 2021 and beyond.
