My k8s cluster (not DOKS) is stuck for several minutes pulling images from the DOCR Registry. Is there bandwidth limitations that I’m missing somewhere? I’m on the professional plan.

Hi there,
Haven’t seen this personally, been pulling from DOCR regularly and it’s been fast for me, even with larger images. So it doesn’t sound like a general bandwidth limitation.
That said, a few things to check:
-
Try pulling the image manually from one of the nodes with
docker pullto see if it’s a DOCR issue or something on the K8s side. -
Check if this only happens on specific nodes or at certain times, could be related to image caching or network congestion.
-
Check the size of the images. If the images are huge it might be understandable that it takes a while, especially when pulled on fresh new nodes without any layers already cached.
If it’s consistently slow, definitely reach out to the DigitalOcean support, they can look into DOCR performance or regional issues on their end.
Let me know if you narrow it down!
