Docker is a container virtualization technology that launches a Docker container from a Docker image that includes applications and environments. The mechanism of Docker is explained in the following articles.
What is the mechanism of the virtualization tool 'Docker' that can reproduce the same environment anywhere and move the application? -GIGAZINE
Docker Hub is a service that can share the container image required to start the container. By using Docker Hub where various container images are shared, you can save yourself the trouble of creating a container image yourself, or you can easily start the same container in another environment.
Until now, the container image on Docker Hub has no limit on the storage period even with the free plan, but Docker has a free plan to ``delete container images that have not been used for 6 months'' on August 13, 2020
Furthermore, on August 24, 2020, we announced that we will also limit the number of 'Pull' downloads of container images. The pull count limit depends on the Docker Hub plan used by the pulling side of the image, and the specific pull count limits are as follows.
・Free users (anonymous): 100 times per 6 hours
・Free users (registered): Up to 200 times per 6 hours
・Pro and Team plan users: unlimited
Jean-Laurent Morlhon , a Docker executive, explains how the pull count was limited. When we investigated the number of pulls on Docker Hub, it was found that the number of pulls for many users was within expectations, but it was found that some anonymous users were pulling a large amount. Morlhon said that the top 1% of anonymous users made up 30% of all Docker Hub downloads.
The number of pulls is counted by downloading a 'manifest file' in which the metadata of the Docker image is described, and it is said that anonymous users will be limited based on their IP address. The pull limit will be applied from November 1, 2020, like the retention period limit.
As a service that can publish container images like Docker Hub, there are 'GitHub Packages' and so on.
