Why is pulling images in Container Registry slow?

Why is pulling images in Container Registry slow?

Pulling an image is slow from IBM Cloud® Container Registry.

When you try to pull an image, it takes a long time.

The following alternatives are possible causes:

  • Scenario A. You're using a large image.
  • Scenario B. You're pulling your image over a long distance.
  • Scenario C. You have a poor connection.

You can fix this problem in the following ways:

  • Scenario A. Reduce the size of your image.
  • Scenario B. Store and pull your images in the same location.
  • Scenario C. If you're using IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service or Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform, you can pull images over the private network to get a faster speed.
