Keep Watch on Docker Hub Pulls with JFrog Log Analytics

Have you heard? Docker Hub now limits usage by free anonymous and credentialed accounts. After the number of pulls from an IP address exceeds a fixed threshold within a six hour period (100 for anonymous, 200 for credentialed), Docker Hub throttles bandwidth. You’ll still get your Docker images, but at a much slower speed. You can read our earlier blog post to learn more about the Docker Hub policy changes.

Track your Bandwidth & Storage limits with our Quota API

At Cloudsmith, helping fledgeling startups grow from a single person operation to enterprise-level organisations is a constant joy! In those early stages, startups need all the help they can get to survive, and even veteran organisations experience similar challenges when scaling up rapidly. Cloudsmith can help with our self-service approach to managing and defining storage and bandwidth limits to keep costs under control while allowing you to scale when needed.

Games are in our DNA

At Cloudsmith we love playing video games, everything from Super Meat Boy to Halo, Fortnite to Candy Crush. We’ve got a big Pac Man money box sitting on the office shelf. Steve Collins, of Havok fame, is on our Board of Directors. Quite simply, gaming is in our DNA. When we started Cloudsmith we made a list of customers we’d love to work with someday and there were numerous games studios on the list.

OpenShift Optimization with Jenkins CI/CD

Learn how Raiffeisen Bank International uses Densify container optimization analytics in their Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to precisely resource their Red Hat OpenShift containers. Since embedding Densify into their CI/CD workflow, Raiffeisen has reduced resource demands, cut the frequency at which container resources need to be expanded by nearly 50%, and reduced the risk of instability caused by memory shortages.

Expand your Sleuth monitoring reach with Datadog

Sleuth is a deployment tracking tool that gives you a deeper level of insight into your CI/CD workflows by tracking all of your team’s deployment tools from a single dashboard. Sleuth integrates with different components of your deployment pipeline and develops an understanding of your development processes. It can then automatically alert you as to when code is shipping, when manual approvals are needed, and when failures occur.

JFrog & HashiCorp - Scale Your Developer's Talent

Join JFrog’s Baruch Sadogursky and HashiCorp’s Taylor Dolezal as they walk you through best practices for helping to enhance your team’s artifact experiences. Together HashiCorp and JFrog enable you to automate your application infrastructure end-to-end. While HashiCorp technologies implement Infrastructure as Code, the JFrog Platform manages all of the binaries, artifacts and dependencies for each build, and automates the software composition analysis, build information and deployment.

Docker Hub rate limits in Bitbucket Pipelines

Docker recently announced that, starting November 1 2020, pull rate limits will apply to anonymous image pulls from Docker Hub. For anonymous (unauthenticated) users, pull rates are limited based on the individual IP address, and therefore some service disruption was expected for Docker Hub users. Bitbucket is working with Docker to ensure that Bitbucket Pipelines users can continue transparently using Docker Hub without rate limits nor any configuration.
